Thank you, in the meantime, I found via google some mesages from that
List archives, about this feature (headless support), It was
incorporated in April 2005. I still can't understand the requirement
for Gtk, since JDK 1.4 on Linux relies on basic X11 libraries. I will
follow your advice.

I also used JamVM with the latest Classpath release, got the same problem.

Regards,
Martin
