J2SE Version (please include all output from java -version flag):
  java version "1.6.0-rc"
  Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-rc-b98)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-rc-b98, mixed mode, sharing)

Does this problem occur on J2SE 1.3, 1.4.x or 1.5? Yes / No (pick one)

  NO. The bug does only occur, when the code is run as an applet.
  It works fine, when run as an application.

Operating System Configuration Information (be specific):
  WinXP SP2

Bug Description:

  JFileChooser displays garbage file selector and shows exception when using
  "UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());"
  on Windows XP SP2 (system LAF class name is
  com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel ).


  However the file choose works fine but looks ugly.

  Attached a screenshot of the file chooser and a sample source code.
  The code runs as an applet and a standalone application.

Steps to Reproduce (be specific):

  appletviewer.exe -J-Djava.security.policy=all.policy capFilechooser.html
