Yes.

Sometimes the 'signal' bug mentioned on the WWW page shows up, but not
consistantly.

This is 'the way things are'.  Previous versions of the Swing releases
had the same 'look and feel', but given the recent legal affairs between
Sun and M$, the Swing folks felt it might be asking for trouble to have
the same look as Win32 on Unix, so now the Swing uses the 'motif' look
and feel (which requires you to use the motif.jar library under unix but
not under Win32).
