I ran into this headache with the vanilla client here as well (gentoo's java-overlay tricks the vanilla launcher to using natively built lwjgl for minecraft), but linux users that use jre-7 / Java 1.7.x (and icedtea 1.6.x I think also has this issue) has a nice problem of lwjgl failing to find libjawt.so due to a bug in the lwjgl java code. I patched it in my local overlay after a bit of googling the relevant svn change. Apparently the launcher is shipping 2.7.1.

https://github.com/Diskmaster/Diskmaster-Gentoo-Overlay/blob/master/dev-java/lwjgl/files/lwjglfix1.patch exists if you want to fix the jar file yourself, alternatively upgrade to 2.8.2. The patch is a rediff of lwjgl revision r3604 which fixes the issue.
