The vino-client java VNC client crashes when DISPLAY is set to the second head of my desktop:

  xxxxx@xxxxx  > cat `which vncviewer`
#!/bin/sh
exec java -jar /usr/share/gnome/vino/vino-client.jar ${1+"$@"}
  xxxxx@xxxxx  > DISPLAY=:0.1 vncviewer :0

But it works when DISPLAY is set to the first screen:

Use the first screen of your X server.

Setup dual monitor envrionment both on sparc and x86, could not reproduce this bug.
Attach my x86 xorg.conf for your referrence.

Halton,

You're using xinerama. Try turning that off. Then try running a java app with DISPLAY set to :0.1

I have successfully tested the fix on Linux and (with help from
interested parties) on solaris.

The fix is to check if the number of screens reported by 
XineramaGetInfo is greater than reported by XScreenCount and
only enable xinerama support if that's the case.

I can confirm that this bug still occurs on jdk 1.6.0_03. My setup uses two screens numbered as :0.0 and :0.1 without xinerama. Every Swing/AWT app crashes when started on screen :0.1

And the same (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException at getDefaultScreenDevice) for every other Swing/AWT app. The applications which use SWT toolkit do work properly.

This still occurs on java version "1.6.0_04". It crashes on every screen except :0.0

Under Ubuntu 8.04, fully updated on today's date:

this bug is NOT FIXED

still present in 1.6.0_12

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode)

Need more info than that. For example, a stack trace,  the specific configuration details, etc.

This bug happens in all vesions of plataform >= 1.5. Happens when any graphical object is instantiated in any else X WINDOW screen diferent of :0.0.

Here is a log:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1
        at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.getDefaultScreenDevice(X11GraphicsEnvironment.java:178)
        at java.awt.Window.init(Window.java:271)
        at java.awt.Window.<init>(Window.java:319)


The method "getDefaultScreenDevice" return a array with a position ([0]), and in 1.6.0_13 plataform return 2 positions ([0,1]).

Please solve this problem.

Please, this bug need be also fixed in 1.5 plataform the same way as was done for 1.6 (mustang).

1.5 is no longer supported unless you have a support contract. Please upgrade to 1.6.
