For exemple, with Thursday 24 kaffe-snap, whithout change, when I run 
WidgetsDemo.sh ( with tvt.jpg) the image is not displayed and this error is 
caught:
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java/awt/ImageFileProducer.startProduction(27)
        at java/awt/Image.loadImage(189)
        at java/awt/Image.getHeight(145)
        at WidgetsDemo.paint(381)
        at java/awt/Window.update(305)
        at java/awt/PaintEvent.dispatch(51)
        at java/awt/EventDispatchThread.show(127)
        at java/awt/WMEvent.dispatch(52)
        at java/awt/EventDispatchThread.run(38)          

If I replace tvt.jpg by linux.gif, I see the image and the exception is not 
caught.
( I use linux red-hat 5.1)
