Yes, this drove me mad for weeks trying to find out what it was.
I haven't tried the build 08 of java 1.6, but I tried the previous ones.

Wayne discovered that this is a problem of Java, not IJ.
The solutions:

1. Continue using Java 1.5 (or 1.7, but in 1.7 the images get locked for some
reason so it is unusable at this moment).

2. Use Gnome instead of KDE

3. Use KDE, but let ImageJ use the Motif toolkit  with the option:

-Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit

It looks awful, but works OK.

I hope it helps.
