NOTABUG afaik. This seems to be a bug with java http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373 From Josh Triplett The following workarounds address this problem: For sun-java5-bin: sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so For sun-java6-bin: sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so The same fix (applied to the appropriate file) might work for other proprietary JDKs.
