--- Comment #3 from Arno Schuring aelschuring@hotmail.com 2008-12-14 15:04:32 --- well I found one app that I can reproduce it with, it's at http://actualdownload.com/Risk---Classic-Risk-Board-Game-Clone_review.html .
However, recent JRE versions do not exhibit this problem: using an existing JRE 6 (build 1.6.0_03-b05) or a freshly downloaded Java5 RE (build 1.5.0_17-b04) I could not reproduce this issue. Luckily, the problem still appears in the latest JRE 1.4 (build 1.4.2_19-b04), which can still be found at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
Start the game with $ wine ../jre14/bin/javaw.exe -jar Risk.jar to get only a gray window $ wine ../jre14/bin/javaw.exe -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -jar Risk.jar to get the game as intended
The original VM identifies itself as: Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_03-b07). If required (and legally sound), I can supply this specific VM as well.
Final note: there is still a maybe-related redraw issue present in recent JRE versions: if you wait for a few seconds on the main screen (in the app mentioned above), a popup message will tell you that there is a newer version available. That dialog gets painted only partially, and sometimes disappears entirely after dragging it around.
