I sometimes get a very similar hang with XXE at startup. I am running on Fedora Core 4 with Sun Java 1.5.0_07.
After working fine for many uses xxe will suddenly refuse to start - hanging with a blank window as Henrik describes (sometimes it gets as far as initializing the two window panes, but it never displays any content in either). I cannot reliably force the hang, but it occurs reasonably often - probably 10% or even 20% of startups. Once XXE is stuck in this way, killing it and re-starting does not help. I am running rdesktop to a Windows XP box at the same time in another window manager workspace, and I have found empirically that if I close the rdesktop window it removes the hang and XXE comes up OK. This makes me suspect that the issue is related to the display in some way - perhaps access to an X.org resource? It only started happening on recent versions of XXE, but since I have also updated Java and my windows managed (icewm) over the last few months I cannot be sure where the issue crept in and it could of course be a bug in rdesktop.
