I'm still not sure what is going on with your system, but here's something
I'd like you to try:

- Edit the runIDV script that you use to start the IDV with gedit.
- Change the line:

command="java -Xmx512m -jar idv.jar $*"

to:

 command="java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Xmx512m -jar idv.jar $*"

and then try to access the 3D grids again.
