           Summary: graphical window appears blank when using icedtea
                    instead of Sun's JRE
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/arianne/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: IcedTea
        AssignedTo: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org
        ReportedBy: oslsach at yahoo.com


The game client's graphical window appears blank when using IcedTea/OpenJDK
instead of Sun's JRE, making this online game unplayable with the former JVM.

JVM Version used (though the problem has always appeared in any version or
flavour ;-) - IcedTea or not):
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b11)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 1.6.0_0-b11, mixed mode, sharing)

1) Download the game client zip at http://sourceforge.net/projects/arianne/

stendhal-0.74.zip (lighter version, without sounds) or 
stendhal-FULL-0.74.zip

and unpack it into a directory.

2) Run from the command line using: java -jar stendhal-0.74.jar
3) Create an account and connect to the server.
Result:
The main window, which is a graphical window, appears blank, making the game
unplayable.
The chat/event window below it works normally, though.
No error message is reported on the console: either from the application or the
JVM.

4)Quit the game.
5)Switch to Sun's JRE (version 5 or later required):
6) Repeat the previous procedure from step 2)(no need to create a new account,
though)
Result:
The graphical window renders the game image and the game is flawlessly
playable.

This bug is always reproducible.

The game developers failed trying to isolate a minimal test case, though their
knowledge about awt/swing (which is where it is suspected that the problem may
reside, given the graphical nature of the symptom) is admittedly limited.

Being a project hosted in Sourceforge the source code is freely available for
inspection.
