Except this actually seems to be about:

http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1839

and not the Gtk+ look and feel. The only comment about Gtk+ says:

"i managed to blindly set the theme to GTK+ and changed the default fonts (via
lxappearance). everything works now."

It's a little ambiguous, but I read that as either the default LnF ("theme")
was Metal and changing to Gtk+ fixed it, or they altered the Gtk+ theme which
fixed it. The first would be unrelated to this bug and the second would be a
bug in the existing Gtk+ setup.
