#554 Hang immediately after starting the program

[Trejkaz]

Under Windows (Vista, although I doubt it's relevant, probably more related to threading than anything), more than 50% of the time starting the application results in an unresponsive application. Either the main window comes up and then it hangs, or the main window and the help come up and then it hangs.

The rest of the time it comes up as expected, but there must be a pretty serious threading bug somewhere. Perhaps setVisible() for one or both of the windows is being done outside the event dispatch thread?

I've never seen this behavior before. I don't have access to a machine (virtual or real) running Vista. Are you using the latest stable JVM from Sun (1.6_02)?

Yep, I'm using 6.0 Update 2.

I am using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon with Sun JDK 1.5.0 and I have tried the zip version (no installer). I see the Splash Screen, but afterwards there is only a Window without content, so I assume it also crashes. The first time I think I saw the help, but since I closed it, it never reappeared.

Perhaps it's a desktop effects issue as documented here:

On Ubuntu, can you disable desktop effects and try it again?
