Re: GUI launches a window (on Linux) but nothing appears in client-area

Rob -

Just FYI:
Ok, I did upgrade to Java 6, but that alone does NOT fix this 'java-swing-application' issue!

Here's another link that seems to confirm that the problem continues in java-6:
  http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Java
and their solution/patch is more long-winded for java-6 than it is for java-5

I tried the java-5 'workaround' (the 'export' thing, but it did NOT work for me).

So, my (simple) solution is just a couple of clicks away...i.e. just switch off 'Beryl' window-manager
anytime I want to run my 'SQuirreL' or my 'NetBeans IDE', and then re-enable Beryl again after
I'm done with the java-app.

Thanks again for the great SQuirreL product and the quick response for identifying the culprit (Beryl)!

Cheers and regards...

Dave
