I think that this bug affects java instead of netbeans.

The same problem with java6.

$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

$ sudo update-alternatives --config java

Hay 3 alternativas que proveen `java'.

The problem is in libraries libxcb1 and libxcb-xlib0. If I force the feisty version (1.0-1.1ubuntu2) then it work fine.

[Marek Slama (mslama-email)]

It is JDK problem as mentioned above.

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

I can confirm this bug and it is indeed a Java bug as it is also effecting Eclipse.

I'm going to mark this as duplicate of bug 86103.

Please note that you should use "update-java-alternatives" to update all java-related alternatives-links.
