Default LimeWirePro/Basic 4,14.8 - Blank window on Ubuntu 7.04

I installed LimeWire Pro 4.14.8 on Ubuntu 7.04 using the .DEB file from the official LW Pro site. Java 1.5.0_11 was automatically installed during the LW Pro installation.

However when I run LW, either from the Ubuntu menu or by running 'limewire' at the command prompt, all I get following the splash screen is a blank window with a tooltips dialog box.

I tried uninstalling LW Pro and Java and reinstalling LW Basic, but with the same end result. Another thread mentioned having Universe and Multiverse enabled in the update repositories, and this has been verified.

Has anyone succeeded in getting LW 4.14.8, either Pro or Basic, to run correctly on Ubuntu 7.04?

(My email to the LW Pro support desk yielded no reply beyond the "we'll respond to you shortly" automated response, which seems to be par for the course.)
