Bug Description
Binary package hint: synergy
Shared clipboard won't work with java application. My test case is a synergy server on ubuntu/AMD64, and copy/paste with my MacOS client do not work in java applications. A Java exception is triggered in sun.awt.X11 packages, with calls linked to Clipboard (native X function where exception is triggered : XGetAtomName, called in sun.awt.
Synergys may not set up the clipboard properly, or java access to clipboard does not respect completely the X11 standard.

I would like to confirm that this happens to me as well. I have synergy set up to run between Ubuntu 8.04 with Intel core2 Duo 64-bit processors and a Windows XP machine. When I use java 1.6 with any development applications this bug shows up periodically, and crashes most of my java apps on startup. It only shows up when something is "copied" on my Windows XP box, and as a quick workaround to start my development apps, I have to "copy" something on my ubuntu box. Essentially I can't use the shared clipboard with java apps from windows to ubuntu unless I use an intermediary such as gedit.
