The Sun Studio IDE might have display problems while loading GTK look and feel libraries. These problems are due to a JDKTM 6 Update 3 bug. Following are examples of the display problems faced:
Icons in the Run menu item partly hide the labels
The Debug toolbar is twice as big as the Build toolbar
Workaround: Use an alternate version of JDK. For example:
% sunstudio --jdkhome /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0_13 |
