I installed the lmt-gui-3.0.0-1 package and have successfully gotten fresh
data displayed by the lstat text client.

The java klient, lwatch, on the other hand looks quite odd. Anyone have any
suggestions on how to make it look legible?

I'm hoping someone on the list will offer some wisdom on this one
as I'm really not a java guy. I have noticed that the display varies
depending on whether gnu, sun, or IBM java is used, and will say that
IBM java is what the developers used so that may be best.

I have tried all three in the past though and not had the results you
are having.

Yeah, that question was a far shot. I can't find any IBM java stuff in the
CentOS repositories and I'm not a java guy either. I have no idea why it looks
funny or how to fix it, sadly. :(

There should be IBM java packages here:
http://code.google.com/p/chaos-release/

(chaos 4 =~ centos 5)

I was mistaken, sorry! It's precisely because it is not in Centos that
we don't have it on that ftp site. (I thought we were adding it)

Argh...

No luck there, but I managed to navigate the maze that is the web presence of
IBM and download a rpm. Now lwatch looks better!
