Tried this. This works fine. I don't get the X window error when I exit davmail or if I open settings dialog and Save/Cancel. I am on ubuntu & IMO the dialog looked much prettier and native this way (but that's just me).
You are right: without SWT you will get native gtk theme instead of the generic multiplatform theme.
However, in previous Ubuntu releases, the native swing tray icon was just to ugly (icon not centered, no transparency), is this fixed in your case ?

If the answer is yes, I will probably just drop SWT on linux.

The answer I am afraid, is no. The tray icon is still ugly, same issues as u mention - even the background is of a different color than the panel background, so it really stands out.

However, 2 times when I got the X window error (with swt stable version) my .davmail.properties was deleted. This was made worse by the fact that I use davmail on my work laptop that requires 2 different proxy configs - the 2 times the file was deleted it was because I opened the settings dialog and changed proxy settings and clicked Save. To work around this I backed up the properties file and used the appropriate properties file instead of using the settings dialog - until I found out I can run without swt.

So, despite ugly tray icon and all, no-swt works best for me.

Ps. I always saw the "bad window" error msg together with the ..davmail.properties getting deleted. If this is something new, I can switch back to swt and get some logging.
Best regards,
