No no. Nothing like that. You've been outstanding in your persistence.
We'll figure it out. Don't worry. We just need to find out what is
different about your computer compared to others.

... and while this may be just something weird to do with your machine,
it's always possible that lots of other people are being hit with this
too. So, it's excellent that we're working through this.

It really *would* be helpful to do this in real time (ie together
online), as there are many more questions we could ask.

Versions generally improve as they grow, so usually things that don't
work in previous version work in later ones. In particular, this
problem:

is due to a function that is no longer available in GTK 2.14. We fixed
this (and related problems) in java-gnome 4.0.9

        [to be specific, the part of the release note about "Build
        system improvements" is about this very issue. The Gentoo people
        backported the fix to their 4.0.8 package, but it's in 4.0.9 and
        'mainline' for those using newer versions]

Not really sure what to say. Going back to 4.0.8 isn't really the
answer.
