[Bug 34688] Solved in Mustang (Re: Java incompatibilities with GTK theme -- Dapper Flight 5)

[R. A. Rivas Diaz]

This problem is solved in upcomming Mustang release. I have downloaded
and tested Java 1.6.0-beta2 and the problem is already solved in this
version. Java 6 comes with a better implementation of GTK Look and Feel,
and in the beta2 release the reported error is not seen anymore.

The support for GTK LAF in Java 5 is not very good, and only some
predefined themes are supported. As Human not ClearLooks are officially
supported, this probably won't be solved.

Java 6 comes with a much improved GTK LAF, which uses native GTK
functions to get info related to the GTK theme. Because of this, the GTK
LAF implementation will support all GTK themes. (Still GTK LAF has some
errors, but the implementation is much better)

As the changes are too big, I doubt Sun will backport the new GTK LAF to
current Java 5, but in Java 6 we won't see this error anymore.
