Same problem using fully updated ubuntu 8.04. Using a workaround from
here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=621864) fixed it for me.
$ sudo sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g'
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.04/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so
(I changed 1.6.0.03 to 1.6.0.04 because that is the version I am using)
** Changed in: sun-java6 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
