There’s a known bug that lies between Swing and Compiz. When you start some swing application on JDK 5 or prior you get a gray window with no widgets rendered.
To solve that you can setup an environment variable:
export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
Then start your application normally.
The problem is fixed on JDK 6.
