Dear All,

I've done the wee hacks for LD_ASSUME etc., but getting a blank screen
when JX launches:

Hi Gavin,

thanks for figuring that out, and for providing a work around!

(Incidently, does this mean you've tried JX with java 6? Did it work
:-) ?)

<snip>
Basically, in FC6, there are the new desktop effects, things that make 3d
cubes when switch workspaces and make application windows transparent and
wobble. It's this causing the blank screens. Disabling (not unticking) it
via "System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects" let's JXplorer and
ldapbrowser launch properly.
You can however re-enable when the app is launched and the nice effects
apply to JXplorer etc.
It's compiz that does all this Chris. I've googled a bit for Java and

https://gna.org/bugs/?8006
Basically, upgrading to Java 6 fixes these hookin problems, as it's a Java
bug ;-)
HTH,
Gavin.

Yeah, this morning. But unfortunately, it still never fixed it, and on a
fully updated and patched fc6, as of today, even with 1.6.0, you still
need to disable compiz.

Yes, it works fine. The fonts are now all anti-aliased too, I think ;-)
