The problem is that Swing applications with Sun Java do not work with Compiz and Desktop effects enabled. On the net there are a couple of workaround available, but I have found only one works with fedora core 6. One suggest to use MToolkit instead of the XToolKit: export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit But this requires a library I was not able to find in fedora core 6 (it was in the x11-deprecated-libs, but now this package seems to be removed). The one that works with fedora is to install Xephyr and run java programs inside Xephir, with metacity or another window manager that is not compiz, like the following snippet shows: --- cut --- #! /bin/bash # run_java.sh Xephyr :2 -ac -screen 1430x850 & metacity --display :2 & export DISPLAY=:2 $1 & --- cut --- Just Create a file named run_java.sh with this content, Then just run ./run_java.sh netbeans or ./run_java.sh limewire and you will get a java program into a Xephyr session, just change -screen values to suite your needs. While this is a less than optimal solution, it works. The last workaround is to disable compiz and desktop effects and use metacity but it is really difficult to come back to the old desktop after you have tried compiz :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Sun Java, at least from version 1.5.0_05 to 1.5.0_09 and 1.6.0 beta 2; IBM Java 1.5.0 update 3. Other JDK may have the same issues. How reproducible: Always, with compiz, some Swing based applications seem to work, but they froze as soon as the user tries to resize the window. Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable compiz 2. run a swing application Actual results: The application shows a grey windows, froze or does not resize (eventually stopping to work) Expected results: Applications should start and work normally Additional info: GCJ seems to work, GNU classpath with Cacao also works. This is a bug in Sun Java. SWT application are not affected. I have not tested AWT but it seems to work, too (this is what I've read on the net, at least). This is a bug enty in Sun Bugzilla that can be tracked: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6429775 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/beryl- core/+bug/118983/comments/0 On 2006-11-10T21:09:27+00:00 Mario wrote: I wanted to add that first workaround proposed (the MToolkit fix), can be enabled for fedora by installing the package libXp.

Looks like sun has finally released JDK6 release 10 (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp). Once this is packaged then this bug should finally go away.

I'm using Ldap Browser Editor (LBE), a .jar application. Since I couldn't run it using Ubuntu's JRE, I must use binary Java installation from Sun, in which the LBE runs. I see this problem using the recent jre1.6.0_07 from Sun. Using AWT_TOOLKIT workaround helps.

Aris - what jre/jdk are you using, and have you used the workaround AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit? Without doing either of these 2 it is still not fixed for me (although it does happen less frequently than it used to). It's a known jdk bug, so I don't really understand what would fix it other than the fix in the jdk actually being released, which seems to be taking a long time to happen. -- compiz java windows always grey https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118983 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Until 6u10 becomes available, a temporary workaround may be openjdk: sudo aptitude install openjdk-6-jre sudo update-alternatives --config java and select openjdk. For me, this appears to fix the grey dialog box problem, but fonts are rendered differently, which looks weird. To have Netbeans use the openjdk instead of Sun's Java, I had to edit /etc/netbeans.conf and modify the line netbeans_jdkhome=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun into netbeans_jdkhome=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk -- compiz java windows always grey https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118983 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There's an interesting update to the sun bug which suggests that they may have made some progress on a fix, but doesn't give details about what version it will be available in: State 8-Fix Available, bug it looks like the property is missing because of sime thread race between WM, us and X-server. It looks like the best way to fix this is do not read the property at random time, but listen for property change events fot it.

I voted under bug 6632124. Here is my info: The windows are drawn without content about 30% of the time. Repeatedly closing and re-opening an affected window or dialog box will eventually bring up one that has content. This bug happens only when extra visual effects (compiz) are enabled. When no visual effects are enabled, the bug does not happen. Additionally, it appears not to happen when Metacity WM is enabled (and compiz is disabled). additional info: $ java -version java version 1.6.0_05 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode) $ uname -r 2.6.24-15-generic Ubuntu Hardy beta $ compiz --version Checking for Xgl: not present.
