Thanks for reporting your resutls. I've been enhancing the command line 
interface and fixing SWT bugs as I can find them.

Yes, java.util.prefs was introduced in Java 1.4, after the debut of 
AppleCommander.

The relevant AppleCommander source is UserPreferences:

I updated the host-specific utility class to use a more reasonable 
value for linux:

Yes, it took _two_ tries. :-) I've updated the current release 
candidate; I'd appreciate your testing it:

Nothing jumps out at me, but you might try with 1.3.5.8.
