Remote Java Sessions fails (local work)

[egandt]

Here is the problem I can not use any GUI Java apps remotely. Basically the app loads, but I can only see about a 100 by 200 pixel portion of the screen and no buttons will draw, the same product works locally and all x programs (xterm, xclock, xeyes ...), work when remote from the same server, but not Java.

1. I tried setting:
export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
and
export AWT_TOOLKIT=XToolkit
as suggested in a blog entry but if I select Mtoolkit then Java hangs, if I select XToolkit then I have the screen issue. If I use this options only I the local machine it makes no difference.
2. Since the programs all work locally (on both my system and the remote systems local X display) the problem is passing 1 or more values from local X server to the application, but that is were I get lost.
3. I also tried changed the drivers from ATI to VGA or VESA always the same problem.
4. There are no problems reported on the command-line from which X is run,everything appears fine as far as both systems are concerned.

Basically I've spent the better part of 2 weeks getting this install 100% functional only to now have to start from scratch if I do not get a solution as I need remote JAVA to get work done. I'm most upset by this issue as I can not even search for a solution as is a graphical display issue and I can not describe it on a search engine well. For those that got this far I'm running Gentoo 2006.1 with portage updated to 1/2/06. This is a real bummer as I can not spend time reinstalling Gentoo again and would have to move back to "Winblozes"/Exceed if I can not fix the issue.
