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:

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.

There are no subversion log entries for this issue yet.
