In my experience the GTK Look & Feel that is selected on the Gnome Desktop behaves completely different compared e.g. to the Metal Look & Feel. I had several cases were the order of events during creation of my Windows and Panels were different compared to other look and feels and thus certain objects were not yet initialized which led to NPEs during startup and opening of windows.
