Description
Having been working some minutes with JOSM, any other KDE program freshly started (after starting JOSM) will show a completely messed-up GUI or even empty window, making it unusable. This applies to Okular, Gwenview, Dolphin, or even the K menu. After closing down JOSM, everything is fine again.
Some other users report this behaviour stops after switching from OpenJDK to Oracle JDK.

I see similar effects, but with JDownloader (also Java) and not JOSM. Came either with a Java update or a KDE update for me. Seems to be a java bug. I'll check Java versions when I'm at this system again. System is openSUSE 13.1.

This is a IPC shared memory leak, caused by some OpenJDK 7 versions.
By default, Java uses shared memory to exchange data with the X Server.
Workaround:
NO_J2D_MITSHM=1 java -jar ~/josm-latest.jar
With this option, Java does not use the shared memory and can't leak it.

You can observe the memory leak with:
ipcs -m -p ipcs -m -p | wc -l

Ubuntu and Debian fixed the issue with the OpenJDK 7 update (85 to 91):

In the Debian and Ubuntu (and also Mint) repos, OpenJDK has been updated from u85 to u91 now, fixing the memory leak. IMHO this issue may be considered resolved and closed.

Confirmed.
OpenSUSE also fixed it:

Update from OpenJDK 7 to OpenJDK 8 fixed it for me.
