            Description

            This appears to be a long standing issue with JDK6 and he GTK UI library for Linux. There is considerable information on the issue listed below:

            http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6624717
            http://www.nabble.com/Working-with-netbeans-6.0-in-Linux-GTK-problem-td15101577.html

            I still have to do a little more reading on this issue but the likely fix is change the viewer RI to load the cross platform look and feel.

              Looks like this issue has been fixed as of JDK6U12 . I'll close this issue but will also update the Workaround number 2. The assignment of a look andfeel in the pdfviewerri.properties should point to the look and feel name not the class path.
