Hi all

Some time ago I asked the list about a bug where the contents of ImageJ
windows are not rendered when ImageJ is running on Ubuntu with 3D
desktop effects enabled.  I had a couple of useful replies from the list
and submitted an issue to Sun, which has received a bit of attention
over the last couple of days.

At the moment, it appears that the empty window bug is fixed in JRE7,
which you can download and test:
https://jdk7.dev.java.net/
(it is buggy at the moment - I keep on getting windows that are locked
so I can't close them)

But the second part of the bug is not fixed:  ImageJ windows are missing
from the panel / Awn list.

I'm hopeful that this will be resolved, so will keep you informed of
progress.

Cheers

Mike
