After an upgrade a couple of days ago, Java applets did not run on the browser. No error messages, no coffee cup, nothing, just a blank area.
Only later I noticed that not even a Hello World! applet run on Eclipse. At least it showed an error message, roughly "Locking assertion failure. Backtrace: #0 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 [0xb7cca767]"
Through a web-search found a random hack, which amounted to "sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' /opt/java/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so" which worked like magic. Just wanted to share the information, in case the problem still exists.

Whatever it does, it works.

This hack is still needed to run (for example) jabref with the new jre 6u5-1.
I suggest making this post sticky. I've lost couple of hours googling around in bbs to find out a solution.

My goodness, me too. Three months after my first post, I upgraded jre and forgot about this stupid patch thingy. Is still neccessary :-(

You might want to report it as a bug then... It's quite normal that this doesn't get fixed if you don't tell the devs about it.

After searching the flyspray for already opened jre bugs, I just filed the #10162 (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10162).
Is there any other way to propagate this simple fix (one sed command on one file) other than just provide a whole new jre package?
