I had already this kind of problem with the previous version on a Debian
Sid (unstable) and after rotating for some time, the JVM crashed. But
this was Debian unstable so I thaught it was "normal". However, it is
highly probable that these two bugs are not related but I will
investigate more...

Actually, this issue was already discussed when I sent the crystal patch
for the first time. I decided to make the crystal dialog always enabled
because a user may want to use a simple XYZ (for example) file
containing the unit cell atoms and then add the necessary information to
generate the crystal. For example the site
http://cst-www.nrl.navy.mil/lattice/ provides XYZ files for a bunch of
crystalline structure and crystal information can be read on screen.
However, as ShelX is now supported, it may be more logical to transform
the XYZ file into a ShelX by incorporating the crystal info.
Merely a question of philosophy.
