Description David Flogeras 2007-10-02 16:56:59 UTC 
When I start a GUI Java application (I tried with sun jdk's 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6) under xorg-server-1.3.0.0 or above, on the second X display only, it crashes with the following backtrace:

Starting the same application on display :0.0 works fine.  I started a non-gui java application on the second display and that had no problems.  Downgrading to xorg-server-1.2.0-r3 fixed this behaviour.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a GUI Java application (such as ControlPanel) on a second X display
2. Be sure you are running xorg-server-1.3.0.0 or above
3.

Seems to be a upstream recurring problem: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6604044
 and duplicates
Comment 2 Pierre Colot 2007-10-10 20:13:24 UTC 
workaround use xinerama to merge multiple display as a logical one
Comment 3 David Flogeras 2007-11-22 11:25:27 UTC 
Seems to work now, not sure if xorg or java updates fixed it, but the problem goes away running the following versions.

=xorg-1.3.0.0-r2
=sun-jdk-1.6.0.03
=sun-jdk-1.50.13
