Funky GUI interop issues in thick client ReportViewerBean on Linux
When I run up my app on Linux with the ReportViewerBean (in Swing), press the Export button, the click the Browse... button, I get an x11 error (below), and the file dialog never appears.
<br><br>
HOWEVER, if I then click on the Text Search button, the File Dialog magically appears with the Text Search dialog behind it.
<br><br>
This seems to happen intermittently...it seems as though it's quite possibly a swing focus issue...Sometimes it works fine, but other times - almost consistently - if I first click on the report nav arrows, then click Export > Browse, the file dialog won't come up and i'll get the stack trace from Eclipse...
<br><br>
I am running the ReportViewerBean in a JPanel which is embedded into an SWT application using an SWTAWT/Embedded composite. That shouldn't be the issue though as the SWTAWT composite handles all of the swing-to-swt containerization automatically.

At first I thought this may be a JRC bug, but now I'm not so convinced after reading this thread:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/source/sun-java6/bug/291135
<br><br>
I thought I would post this today as a service to anyone else that's seen this issue and in hopes of getting a workaround supplied by the good people at SAP? Looks like it might be an applet issue with the GTK vs. the java version?
