Details

For some Swing-based apps, the widgets aren't displayed when beryl is activated. The bug is known from Sun : http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6429775

One simple workaround is to export this :
AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit

To resolve this bug, I suggest to add a message like "If you experience display problems with swing apps add AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit to your profile" at the end of the install process of the jre.
This task depends upon

There's so many bugs triggered by the use of beryl, if we had to describe every bug in postinstall messages, your screen would be flushed with those when you install packages.
