I have had this problem both with the environment variable set, and unset. Do you find that the problem occurs when combo boxes are involved? I found that the desktop freezes if a breakpoint is hit when the drop-down list is activated. Something to do with the Swing application not being able to process release of focus when the execution is paused, I think. While you say you've not experienced the problem in a while, if it's not been solved by the environment variable, and you do come across it again, maybe this will help.
