Michael, that helped a lot thank! I agree that mwm is much less ugly than
twm. The problem turned out to be a JRE level difference actually, but MWM
allowed me to see enough of the window to recognize the difference in
rendering of the windows to be able to tell it was a JRE problem.

James,

This is the behavior of twm which is the tiny window manager (I'm trying
to think of a more descriptive adjective than tiny :)). I'd recommend a
different window manager. Some people like fvwm, I like mwm - Motif (from
the good 'ol AIX days). To change it here's what I do:
-) Run "vncserver" from Linux and set a password
-) Immediately kill that session: "vncserver -kill :1"
-) Be sure motif is installed: "[yast -i|up2date] openmotif"
-) Change twm to mwm in /root/.vnc/xstartup
-) Run "vncserver" again - I'm sure you'll like the windows better.
Hope this helps.
