Gray Window on Linux With the Compiz / Beryl Window Manager
Problem
I try to run Syncro SVN Client on Linux with the Compiz / Beryl window manager but I get only a gray window that does not respond to user actions. Sometimes the Syncro SVN Client window responds to user actions but after opening and closing an Syncro SVN Client dialog or after resizing the Syncro SVN Client window or a view of the Syncro SVN Client 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 Syncro SVN Client application or switch to other window manager.
