The problem is that Swing applications with Sun Java do not work with Compiz and Desktop effects enabled. On the net there are a couple of workaround available, but I have found only one works with fedora core 6. One suggest to use MToolkit instead of the XToolKit: export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit But this requires a library I was not able to find in fedora core 6 (it was in the x11-deprecated-libs, but now this package seems to be removed). The one that works with fedora is to install Xephyr and run java programs inside Xephir, with metacity or another window manager that is not compiz, like the following snippet shows: --- cut --- #! /bin/bash # run_java.sh Xephyr :2 -ac -screen 1430x850 & metacity --display :2 & export DISPLAY=:2 $1 & --- cut --- Just Create a file named run_java.sh with this content, Then just run ./run_java.sh netbeans or ./run_java.sh limewire and you will get a java program into a Xephyr session, just change -screen values to suite your needs. While this is a less than optimal solution, it works. The last workaround is to disable compiz and desktop effects and use metacity but it is really difficult to come back to the old desktop after you have tried compiz :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Sun Java, at least from version 1.5.0_05 to 1.5.0_09 and 1.6.0 beta 2; IBM Java 1.5.0 update 3. Other JDK may have the same issues. How reproducible: Always, with compiz, some Swing based applications seem to work, but they froze as soon as the user tries to resize the window. Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable compiz 2. run a swing application Actual results: The application shows a grey windows, froze or does not resize (eventually stopping to work) Expected results: Applications should start and work normally Additional info: GCJ seems to work, GNU classpath with Cacao also works. This is a bug in Sun Java. SWT application are not affected. I have not tested AWT but it seems to work, too (this is what I've read on the net, at least). This is a bug enty in Sun Bugzilla that can be tracked: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6429775 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/beryl- core/+bug/118983/comments/0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2006-11-10T21:09:27+00:00 Mario wrote: I wanted to add that first workaround proposed (the MToolkit fix), can be enabled for fedora by installing the package libXp. I have tested netbeans with this fix and seem to run fine on jdk 1.6 rc and jdk 1.5.0_09, but limewire does not run, maybe other application have issues...

The bug is somewhat fixed as of release 1.6.0. You don't need anymore the workaround proposed, but still you get gray windows when opening dialog boxes. It seems to be quite random, and I'm not sure how to fix this (I'm still getting this with an updated compiz-4.0 and jdk 1.6.0.3). I can check with the latest packages in fedora 8 as soon as it gets out, in the meantime, I'm trying to install compiz-0.6 and compiz-fusion for fedora 7. I will also test with IcedTea and let you know.

This bug seems to be fixed for IcedTea on fedora 8, I'm currently using the rawhide version of IcedTea (based on b24: java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0-0.23.b24.snapshot.fc9). I don't know if Sun will ever backport this fix to jdk 1.6, I was also told that it maybe a mixed compiz and java issue. This bug was really about jdk and was a reference to the sun bug 6429775, and not openjdk, so I don't know if you can simply mark this as fixed in rawhide or just leave as closed/insufficient_data. Please, note also that NetBeans 6.0 currently does not work well with IcedTea.
