Thank you first for your answer... Just to let you know the situation: - The actual problem is that XXE take about 25 minutes to display the edition window, then it work perfectly. You must forget my mention about the "sudden logout" which never happened again, and the "windows not shown at all" which only show I was not patient enough. (but who would be?) - I upgraded Java to latest 1.4.2 on this machine, and it is not more successful. - I tried on another machine, where I made the same kind of RedHat 9 installation (full), and surprise, everything works fine! - Back to the crazy machine, I installed xxe into a directory of the Apache server, and then use "deploywebstart". If I start now xxe from the Mozilla browser (in the same machine or from other machines), using Web Start, it works normally.
In conclusion, the problem is not so bad because it occurs on only one machine, and anyway I have the "Web start" solution on this machine. However, if I want to undersstand why it does not work locally on this machine, I need to have an idea what kind of actions xxe perform, before to display its window, which could be delayed so... Anyway if you have no idea, I can survive...
