about 50% of cases

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AssertionError: Dialog disappears.

on my computer. I am running Kubuntu 11.04 and using:

---
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)

Can we proceed with evaluation of my patch now?
