[Squirrel-sql-users] GUI launches a window (on Linux) but nothing appears in client-area

[David C. <dav...@ve...>]

Hi -

I had SQuirreL v2.2 installed on my Linux box, but when I launched it
(under KDE),
it draws the window w/ title-bar, but nothing ever shows up in the
client-area
of the window (i.e. it remains white).

Since it was a bit out-of-date, I grabbed your new v2.4.1 install-jar,
and installed that.
(I do just the single-user install, which puts it into my /home/<user>
sub-tree.)

I'm still seeing the exact same symptom (i.e. nothing shows up in window
client-area).

I checked the obvious:

java -version
java version "1.5.0_08"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_08-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
root@2[SQuirreL SQL Client]# 

and another unrelated -jar file executes just fine.

[The original v2.2 worked a month or so ago...since then, I've
upgrade the Linux system (leaving my '/home' partition intact).
That usually works...SQuirreL typically runs just fine once I install
a newer Linux distro and JRE, etc.]

Any ideas on what to look at?  [I'm sure its gonna be something simple
that I'm overlooking.

TIA...

Dave
