[Bug swing/23537] New: Garbled and unusable GUI under Swing (javax.swing.JLayeredPane?)

[classpath at zorglub dot s dot bawue dot de]

Hi,

my request is a bit fuzzy and I apologize for this but I hope someone can help
me further.

I managed to compile FreeMind (Version 0.7.1 as packaged by myself for Debian
Sarge, i386) with free-java-sdk (combination of jikes and sablevm 1.11.3), and
the result even does run properly under Sun's JRE.

But trying to make it run under free-java-sdk (aka sablevm) as well as kaffe
1.1.5 with something like:
$ JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/fjsdk PATH=/usr/lib/fjsdk/bin:$PATH freemind
does bring a completely garbled GUI (no icons, menus looking weird,
etc..., see
http://eric.lavar.de/comp/linux/debian/dump/free/freemind_free_java.png) and if
I try to create a new map, it fails, the GUI is blocked and
I get the following output:

$ JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/fjsdk PATH=/usr/lib/fjsdk/bin:$PATH freemind

[...]

I reported the bug on the Java Debian list and was told to report it here, so I 
do.
I've read that you don't need the code but here it is in any case:

I'd be happy if you could help me.

Thanks, Eric
