Ok, now at last I finally remember what _my_ problem was. Before I
installed the JDK, I had just reinstalled Linux (Suse 6.3) from scratch,
doing the install in German. At least I assumed it was only the
installation proper. Instead, that also gave users a LANG=de entry in
their environment, and _that_ caused the swing apps to fail. I can even
reproduce it now,
pj@pulsar:/opt/jdk/demo/jfc/SwingSet > (export LANG=de; java -jar
SwingSet.jar)
still causes a crash.
This wouldn't happen for root, 'cause the variable is only put in normal
users' environments...
Regards,
Peter
