Summary: It seems to be a large problem to bring IDEA running smoothly on Linux and keeping it running on Mac. If IDEA does not run fine on J2SE 1.4, the Linux users have trouble; if IDEA runs on J2SE 1.4 (that seems to imply, that it will not run on J2SE 1.3.x any longer), the Mac users come into large(r) trouble.
I think, the only solution is to wait, until the Mac version of J2SE 1.4 is available. We can bet, that it will be soon. Tom PS: I don't run any Swing application on Linux, because I could not get them to run in a reasonable way. Independent of IDEA, does someone got J2SE 1.4 running successfully on SuSE Linux 7.1?
