Just a quick note to state that this problem persisted after an upgrade to Netbeans 6.8, using the installer from their website, so no longer using the Karmic package. I guess that means that it's an OpenJDK problem rather than Netbeans. Anyway, the fix above, to use Sun's JDK instead, works a treat.
