[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#474626: Bug#474626: #474626: still happens here

Hi,

> | Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey

> | recent JDK 1.5 and early JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a 
> | reparenting window manager. As a workaround you can use JDK 1.4
> | (which doesnt contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you can set
> | the following environment variable (to use the older Motif backend
> | instead): AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
> 
> Unfortunately, this works only with SUN's Java and not with
> OpenJDK at the moment because openmotif is non-free, see also
> this Ubuntu bug #211105 [1]


thanks for the hint!
Just gave it a try, and it works! but I had to use the ia32 version of
Sun Java 5 to get it running, as the 64bit version just segfaultet..


0 bzed at think:~$ type josm
josm is aliased to `JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-1.5.0-sun/ AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit /usr/bin/josm'
0 bzed at think:~$

That works well for me.

Cheers,

Bernd
