File Open Dialog Bug on Red Hat 8.0 Linux
Summary
Bringing up the File Open dialog in Red Hat 8.0 Linux (aka Red Hat 8
or RH8) causes the application to crash. This only happens under
Gnome, KDE is OK.
To Fix:
unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
before running your program.
Unsetting this variable causes Swing to fall back to the default look
and feel (Metal or Ocean).
Details
By default, under Java 1.5+, the system look and feel is Gtk if the
system is using Gnome. Java determines that by looking for the
GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID variable.
The symptom of this problem is if the app hangs and a stack trace
shows the native method readGtkIconData being executed in the AWT
EventQueue.
