When switching between workspace (using the Gnome Workspace Switcher), the capivara GUI did not refresh during/after a long sync.

I do not know whether the sync has finished because the GUI is unresponsive.

See attached screenshot.

Versions:
capivara 0.8.4
java 1.5.0_14-b03
debian etch r4
gnome workspace switcher 2.14.3
gnome 2.14.3

    Try to use the Metal Theme of Java 5.
    It looks like Capivara selects the GTK bindings on your machine. I have seen many of these freezing problems on GTK desktops. They are mostly caused by the Swing implementation in the JRE.
    Try Java 6, it has a much better GTK support.
    (I will also revalidate the UI code in Capivara)
