Calling UIManager.setLookAndFeel fails, unless preceded by a call to getLookAndFeel. The failure itself is silent, but then loads of exceptions are thrown as each pluggable component is created.

In the main method of the attached test program, UIManager.setLookAneFeel is immediately performed, and the behavior described ensues. This happens with all L&Fs, not just motif.

It has been seen on Win95, Solaris 2.5.something, and with JDK 1.1.5 and JDK1.2b2. SwingSet has the same problem.
