I compiled the program under Linux and it runs OK. I think the problems are some usability issues that could be fixed. One clear problem is that menu actions (OnClick events actually) are at top menu items, not at sub-menu items as usually. You need to click the top menu item twice (separately, not double-click) to get the action. I don't know if it is a bug or a feature but it is an unusual way to use menus anyways. Pity you wrote the Java version. I think this could have been fixed.
