The default java version is 1.5.0_06. The java3d optiona pack is 1.3.2. I have deleted all IDV related and 3d related packages and tried again to bring up idv with webstart. With the same results - only gray background where the black visad frame should be.

Did you install Java 3D 1.3.2?  From Web Start, you should be getting
1.3.1 and this could be the problem.  1.3.2 requires a later
version of GLX.  What type of video card does this system have?
Do you have the latest driver installed?

Do you have the Java home directory in your classpath?

When starting it with the IDV bundled jre, everything is working fine:/disk1/IDV_2.0/jre/bin/javaws idv.jnlp

If you use the Help->About menu and look at the system tab,
does it show 1.3.1 for the Java 3D?  If you run the installed IDV
using your system 1.5.0_06 version instead of the jre
from the installer, do you get the grey screen:

<location of jre>/1.5.0_06/jre/bin/java -jar /disk1/IDV_2.0/idv.jar

Another thing to try is to have the Java Web Start system console
showing when you start the IDV to see if there are any error
messages being displayed.  To do that, open the Application Manager
from:

http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/apps/player.jnlp

and select the Edit->Preferences  menu to opent the control
panel.  Under the Advanced tab, expand the Java Console node
and select the Show Console button, then Apply.  Then start
the IDV.

I think the basic issue is the use of Java 3D 1.3.2 instead
of 1.3.1, so we just have to figure out how it is getting that
instead of the one that is downloaded with the IDV.
