1.4.1 problems

[James H. Cloos Jr.]

I just grabbed and tested each of the Blackdown and Sun versions of
j2sdk 1.4.1 for linux/i586.  Neither work for me.

When I try running the demos, I get empty windows with blue
backgrounds.  Except for the Applet menu in appletviewer nothing is
displayed in menus.

I get errors like this whenever I run java from either download:

Nov 19, 2002 3:42:49 PM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$3 run
WARNING: Could not create system preferences directory. System preferences are 
unusable.

I tried running batik's svgbrowser and got a window of geometry 11343x33990+0+0.

The box started w/ suse 7.3.  X is updated to 4.2.0, kernel is 2.4.20-rc1.
Both sun and ibm 1.3 work OK.

Any thoughts on how to get 1.4.1 working are appreciated.

That cures that error, but I still get nothing in the windows but the
light blue background (same color as the blue used by the metal theme).
