Rob:
Thanks for the information. I did untar the client download in a clean area, change the LAF in the clientconf.xml file then start the gui up but still get the error. The java managed user preference file? Is it in the sourcejammer directory?
Thanks!

The LAF setting in clientconf is only used the very first time you start your SJ client. After
that, this value gets written to a user preferences file managed by Java. The setting in
clientconf no longer applies.
If kunststoff is the default LAF in the Linux client download, well, I don't know why it's trying
to load the Windows LAF on startup. I'll have to take a look. I no longer have a linux machine
around to play with, so I may not have tested the Linux client release as thoroughly as I should
have.
