Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As workaround
wether you use JDK 1.4 (which don't contains the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you
define the following environment variable accordingly (to use the older Motif
backend instead):
.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
