Hello,

I am experiencing an annoying bug in Java Swing applications. I am
developing with IntelliJ IDEA but since I updated my desktop a while
ago (around the time where the last pf syntax changes happened) the big
main window does not appear.
After some researches in die IDEA codebase I didn't found the problem
so I tested the local jvm. Surprisingly, netbeans isn't working too.
Small dialogs are displayed but as soon as a big swing window has to be
painted, it will be shown as a big gray and empty window. Sometimes,
you can find a button (the mouse pointer changes) and it works if you
click on it.
In case of IDEA you get the whole initial configuration assistent but
as soon as it is over, you get the gray big main window. Closing the
window triggers the normal "Do you want to exit?" dialog which gets
displayed correctly.
Netbeans doesn't even get the first window right.

The EbayClient sample works so far
(/usr/local/jdk-1.6.0/sample/webservices/EbayClient).

I built the jdk-1.6.0 package in the normal way (with 1.5) and
afterwards with the native_bootstrap and nothing helped.

I reinstalled OpenBSD from scratch two weeks ago, updated it
yesterday and rebuilt the jvms but it does not help.


$ uname -a
OpenBSD myhost 4.6 GENERIC.MP#2 i386

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_03-p4"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build
1.6.0_03-p4-sarnowski_27_oct_2009_16_28-b00) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM
(build 1.6.0_03-p4-sarnowski_27_oct_2009_16_28-b00, mixed mode)

# pkg_info jdk | grep inst:
Information for inst:jdk-1.5.0.16p1
Information for inst:jdk-1.6.0.03p8

I am using the cwm(1) window manager.


I don't have a clue how to trace this problem down. I am happy about
any hint.


Thanks for reading,
Tobias Sarnowski
