------- Comment #2 from cxh at eecs.berkeley.edu  2009-03-12 00:25 -------
The whiteboxes in the Windows file browser dialog only occur in
the HTML Viewer.
This command does not have the bug under Java 1.5.0_17 with
Ptolemy II 5.0.1, but does have it with Java 1.5.0_17 with 
Ptolemy II 6.0.2, 7.0.1 and the svn head:
 java -classpath "." ptolemy.vergil.VergilApplication doc/help.htm

The problem goes away if I comment out the stylesheet code in 
ptolemy.actor.gui.HTMLViewer._init():

        if (_styleSheetURL != null) {
            // If _styleSheetURL is non-null, we set the style sheet
            // once and only once.  If try to do this in a static initializer,
            // then the styles are wrong.
            HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument) pane.getDocument();
            StyleSheet styleSheet = doc.getStyleSheet();
            styleSheet.importStyleSheet(_styleSheetURL);
            new HTMLEditorKit().setStyleSheet(styleSheet);
            _styleSheetURL = null;
        }

The problem is that ptII/doc/default.css sets the body to white:

BODY {
   background: #ffffff;

which gives us the white boxes.  Changing the background changes
the color of the white boxes.

The fix would be to come up with a css file does not set the background
for the JFileBrowser widget.
