Hi, I have tried java 1.6, but it did not seem to fix the problem. But finally now I got a solution that is working for me, actually, it is on the wiki page, amongst the various other solutions which did not seem to work in my case.
http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Problems_with_Java#JetBrains_IDEs See section "jetbrains IDEs". Running the script with "Sawfish" fixes the blank windows and the mouse pointer issue. I thought it might be useful for others to know in case the same problem occurs. I wish if java would not mess with such things :( Just for curiosity, is awesome now a reparenting or a non-reparenting window manager?
