Because of the Sun bug http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6429775 I must revert to the old sun.awt.motif.MToolkit renderer. Since using this sometime after using netbeans, a few minutes, (I suspect it's related to opening dialogs but have no proof yet) all keyboard input ceases to be accepted by netbeans. Typing in the editor, typing to navigate in navigation windows, and shortcut keys. Xgl is becoming popular amongst linux users and netbeans is getting left behind :'(

I suspect this is a duplicate of http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6465038 but it's crippling NetBeans none the less. It is indeed related to opening dialogs, and I have a workaround: One the problem occurs, build the project (ensuring that atleast one class will not compile) then click in the output window on the linked error message making sure that class is not the current document in the editor. When the editor gains focus, switching to the failed class, at the line of the error, keyboard input is possible again.
it's a jdk bug and there's no feasible workaround we could provide in netbeans - closing
Fair enough, expected it. Atleast the little workaround there exists for netbeans is documented somehwere :-)
