Looks like the issue is known. The application in question for me is an
Emullive Meeting application. Reference:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507870

The updated OpenJDK packages referenced there fixed the problem for me.
I guess we just need to wait for the updated packages to arrive on the
mirrors for a final fix.

Cheers,

Chris
