The LAF setting in clientconf is only used the very first time you start your SJ client. After that, this value gets written to a user preferences file managed by Java. The setting in clientconf no longer applies.
If kunststoff is the default LAF in the Linux client download, well, I don't know why it's trying to load the Windows LAF on startup. I'll have to take a look. I no longer have a linux machine around to play with, so I may not have tested the Linux client release as thoroughly as I should have. --Rob --- Veronica L Bounmixay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Rob!
