This is a weird menu I found this on the net: http://karussell.wordpress.com/2008/07/26/the-most-annoying-but-strangest-bug-in-netbeans/ I tried one of the advices of Tim Boudreau: and this works for me: ./netbeans -J-Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit I don't use Netbeans, but I had some verbose output when launched like this, so should check if motif is well supported by Netbeans. But if it is only pure Swing motif should work. I Didn't experience this bug with swt (eclipse) though, and netbeans works fine with fvwm, maybe with metacity too or others! I should look at dev mailing list of Netbeans, maybe they have a solution or other workarounds. regards > > thanks, > > -- > [-] > > mkdir /nonexistent > > > -- > To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected]. > -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
