Re: [gui-dev] Crashes of the Gnutella?

It looks like a GNOME-only issue on your Linux.

May be you could check your GNOME installation as it seems to hang in the 
SystemTray emulation (probably with its mouse grabbing feature whih should 
interact with your X11 server, but needs its own even-processing loop 
independant of the Swing event loop which is for another native X11 window, 
and needs some IPC channel or shared memory or something like that to 
communicate across X11 client processes, i.e. the Gnome tray and the JVM).

Looking into the Sun Java Bug database about known issues with Gnome may 
help find the cause.

It's also possible that Limewire's tray management code does not run in the 
expected thread, so proper synchronization between Swing and concurrent X11 
processes does not work as expected (there were similar issues on Windows, 
when the system tray menu event handler were not properly delaying their 
action to the main Swing thread by providing it with a temporary Runnable 
object).

I have not studied the System Tray emulation for Linux in Limewire. It 
merits attention if it goes through some JNI native module.
