Adam, as per Benji are you using Sun's java from 10.3?

Upstream I see one possible issue:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479929

This implies 'export GTK_MODULES=' may work around the issue, does that solve
it for you?

I added this line to my .bashrc file, and it works if I launch from the
gnome-terminal. However, if I launch an app by clicking on the executable jar
file, no-go.

Also, I created a copy of the netbeans launcher and added the laf switch;
Command: "/opt/netbeans-5-5.1/bin/netbeans" --laf
com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel

This worked in 10.2, not in 10.3

How do I make this 'export GTK_MODULES=' and the sloppy lock one, global and
for all users?
