[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#622345: imagej: fails just after the invocation

[Martin Weiser]

Package: imagej
Version: 1.40a-1
Severity: important

Hello,
when I invoke ImageJ from the command line, it fails after several
(approx. 3) seconds. After printing the first two lines of the response,
some graphic element appears and swiftly disappears.
I have no idea about the cause, sorry.
Thank you for your patience.
Martin Weiser

Here is an example of the session:

louskacek at zouzel:~$ imagej
Open other images in this ImageJ panel as follows:
  imagej -p 1 <image1> [<image2> ... <imageN>]

# here something appears and disappears instantly, it looks like some
# kind of menu
