Different Swing behaviour in Windows & Linux

Question

Hi ,
I have an IDEFIX Application(J2ee) whose Client is built on Java Swing.
Addtionally this application had to invoke an 3rd party Software.
On invoking the 3rd party Software from this application & on load
of the 3rd party Software.The Swing Behavior of the client
of IDEFIX Application behaves in a different way . for Eg : the
Disabled buttons are not visible ,enterlly the view becomes somewhat
differrnt & distorted.
IDEFIX Application invokes the 3rd party s\w through a Thread.
But The main problem is that it works properly in Linux ,
The problem arises in Windows system.
If any body has the solution Please tell
Regards,
Sajeev

The glitchs happen when I run the code in windows. First off when I press the quit button in linux the actionlistener picks up that I hit the quit button and makes a new instance of QuitPopup which simply sets itself to visible. I'm using the default layout manager and on linux the popup window simply comes up in a seperate JFrame and I can click the buttons on it etc..
In Windows, using the same code when I press the quit button I see the QuitPopup instance come up but it is like it is drawn ontop of the first JFrame. There is no border and the buttons inside of the QuitPopUp() JFrame don't work. When you move your mouse over them the buttons in the original JFrame appear to "come through" and erase the pop-up's graphics.
For borders on the first JFrame I'm using a no-border full-screen JFrame. For the popup I'm using the default border.
I'm using the default font on both.
Also For the fullscreen JFrame in the background I'm using layeredPanes ontop of the JFrame. I have placed buttons inside of the layeredPanes and when I click on them the image I have set for the rollovericon action keeps flashing after I click on it. NOTE: the flashing buttons ONLY happens in windows.
Do you think trying a different layout manager rather than the default would work better?
