GTK+ Issues With JDK

The Sun Studio IDE might have display problems while loading GTK look and feel libraries. These problems are due to a JDK^TM 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
