Gray Window on Linux With the Compiz / Beryl Window Manager

Problem

I try to run Oxygen XML Developer on Linux with the Compiz / Beryl window manager but I get only a gray window that does not respond to user actions. Sometimes the Oxygen XML Developer window responds to user actions but after opening and closing an Oxygen XML Developer dialog or after resizing the Oxygen XML Developer window or a view of the Oxygen XML Developer window the content of this window becomes gray and it does not respond to user actions. What is wrong?

Solution

Sun Microsystems' Java virtual machine does not support the Compiz window manager and the Beryl one very well. It is expected that better support for Compiz / Beryl will be added in future versions of their Java virtual machine. You should turn off the special effects of the Compiz / Beryl window manager before starting the Oxygen XML Developer application or switch to other window manager.
