In that thread, updating to the non-beta version of Java 3D fixed Heiko's
problem.  That's the same version of Java 3D that you are using.  The
About->System shows the correct version.  Linux is the only system we
don't use Java 1.3.2+ because of issues that we ran into.  1.5.1 presents
problems since not all Linux systems support the versions of GLX that
are needed.  Do you get the grey screen if you install and run the
Linux version of the installer instead of WebStart?  Try the one labeled
with the latest Java 3D.

I'll run some tests to see if we can do that.
