Actually java works well under KDE some bugs under Windowmaker major bugs
under Enlightenment .
Gnome seems to break stuff too.
I wont except bug reports for linux unless there verified under KDE.
Also java works under all the other Unixes Sun/SGI/HP that I've tested.
I'd say its Enlightenment plus Gnome does not help. If your the only badly

it aint X.
