Can't make swtbot work on icewm when there's a change of shell [message #655088]

I have an amazon elastic cloud instance with the ubuntu ami set up with hudson to run the builds of my project. To run my swtbots

I've installed xubuntu-desktop but they don't run with it, they show a NullpointerException when they try to find any widget.

I've tried icewm as the window manager and tests seems to work well, it can find the widgets as long as i don't have to change the shell. When there's a new shell i have to set the focus on, then swtbot can never find it and obviously the tests fail and the screenshots show the last shell instead of the new one i'm openning.

Anybody knows how to overcome this problem when i have to change the shell?

PD: To set up the display and the graphic environment i do:

export DISPLAY=:1
Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x16 &
icewm &

To run the tests i do:

/bin/sh -c cd /var/lib/hudson/jobs/dynamicrefactoring.plugin/workspace/dyn amicrefactoring.tests && /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java -debug -Dosgi.noShutdown=false -Dosgi.os=linux -Dosgi.ws=gtk -Dosgi.arch=x86 -javaagent:lib/jacocoagent.jar=destfile=../cobertura/jacoco. exec -jar /var/lib/hudson/.m2/repository/p2/osgi/bundle/org.eclipse.eq uinox.launcher/1.1.0.v20100507/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher- 1.1.0.v20100507.jar -data /var/lib/hudson/jobs/dynamicrefactoring.plugin/workspace/dyn amicrefactoring.tests/target/work/data -dev file:/var/lib/hudson/jobs/dynamicrefactoring.plugin/workspac e/dynamicrefactoring.tests/target/dev.properties -install /var/lib/hudson/jobs/dynamicrefactoring.plugin/workspace/dyn amicrefactoring.tests/target/work -configuration /var/lib/hudson/jobs/dynamicrefactoring.plugin/workspace/dyn amicrefactoring.tests/target/work/configuration -application org.sonatype.tycho.surefire.osgibooter.uitest -testproperties /var/lib/hudson/jobs/dynamicrefactoring.plugin/workspace/dyn amicrefactoring.tests/target/surefire.properties -testApplication org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench -product org.eclipse.sdk.ide -nouithread

And i know there's no special problem with the tests cause they run in my maven local installation and even the "MyFirstTest" from the SWTBot user guide fails (again cause it doesn't change the shell right).

I finally desisted from trying with icewm or xubuntu.

I did "sudo aptitude install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop" and my swtbot tests worked.
