There seems to be a problem with the 'javafx-scene' macro in kawa-2.4.

First, the example at
https://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Building-JavaFX-applications.html#idm139760384873792
fails to size the button correctly when compared with kawa-2.1.9.  The
same occurs with kawa-2.3 (I have not tested with kawa-2.2).

Curiously, taking this more complex example:

*****************
(require 'javafx-defs)
(javafx-application)

(javafx-scene
 title: "Hello Button"
 width: 600 height: 450
 (Button
  text: "Click Me"
  layout-x: 25
  layout-y: 40
  on-action: (lambda (e) (format #t "Event: ~s~%~!" e)))
 (Button
  text: "Click Me 2"
  layout-x: 25
  layout-y: 70
  on-action: (lambda (e) (format #t "Event: ~s~%~!" e)))
 (Button
  text: "Click Me 3"
  layout-x: 25
  layout-y: 100
  on-action: (lambda (e) (format #t "Event: ~s~%~!" e))))
*****************

kawa-2.3 works correctly (the buttons are correctly sized), whereas
kawa-2.4 fails to run the code, with this error:

If you avoid the javafx-scene macro, and set up the scene by hand,
all seems to work fine with any kawa-2 version.
