Ok, it looks like significant changes implemented in Gnome 2.20 GTK+ have broken LookAndFeel support in Java.
I can run Netbeans, the JDK demo apps, and my apps (Swing GUIs) as long as I use the default Java laf. When I try to use the GTK+ laf, or a third-party laf from a jar, is when crashes happen. Limewire crashes since it uses a custom laf.
Oddly enough, the output of: System.out.println("UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); returns:
"com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel" when run as a user,
"javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel" when run as root.
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?
You can drop a file in /etc/profile.d. We'll also start preparing an
update for upstream issue asap and have some test packages to test later
on Sunday I hope.
