I am unable to embed swt widgets to a swing component using SWT_AWT.new_Shell on linux/gtk2 while the same code seems to run on win32.

Please add a snipplet which shows how to embed swt into awt correctly.

Such a snipplet would make it possible to see whether there a bug in swt or I am simply too stupid to use it right ;-)

I have a similar problem, the SWT Widgets are not displayed in my AWT Frame.
Here is the code :
public static void main(String[] args) {
        java.awt.Frame frame = new java.awt.Frame("AWT Frame");
        java.awt.Button button = new java.awt.Button("AWT Button");
        frame.add(button, java.awt.BorderLayout.NORTH);
        java.awt.Canvas canvas = new java.awt.Canvas();
        frame.add(canvas, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);

        frame.addNotify();
       
        Display display = new Display();
        Shell shell = SWT_AWT.new_Shell(display, canvas);
        shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
        Button swtButton = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
        swtButton.setText("SWT Button");
       
        frame.setBounds(20, 20, 300, 300);
        shell.layout();
        frame.setVisible(true);
       
        while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
                if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
        }
}

Maybe it is because you are using Java 5 or that you are not setting the "sun.awt.xembedserver" system property to true, as discussed in bug 161911.
Note that about the Linux Java 5 support, there is a bug in Sun's bug database you could vote for: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6671386

+1 for a snippet that shows the new_Shell functionality though.

Tossing back into the pool to see if anyone wants to work on this.
