I've tested this on XXE V2.11/Java 1.5.0_04/SuSE 9.3/Gnome 2.10. The
problem comes from 2 facts:

* XXE does not properly implement MDI window (and will never do: we are
working on V3 which will definitely get rid of the MDI window).

* On the above platform, the default look and feel is GTK which is
*incredibly ugly* when emulated by Java and which has this window list
at the bottom of the MDI window.

We strongly recommend to use Options|Options, General section and choose
"Metal" from the "Style" combobox. (Then you'll have to restart XXE.)

except MacOSX.
