Hi Toni,

Thank you for the bug report.

It seems like there is something going on with Java GUI/graphics
applications for multiple users.  I am able to install visualvm into a
clean sid chroot (amd64) with java-6 (default-jdk) or java-7 and both
start up without any problems, accept the license and continue.

Perhaps the issue is with the window manager or X configuration?  (I
don't have a strong theory; just trying to figure out why it works for
some but not others.)

Cheers,
tony

P.S.  The only thing that seemed odd to me when I tested is that I had
to specify the JDK on the command-line - e.g.:

$ /usr/bin/jvisualvm --jdkhome /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64
