You could try the X11 optimization trick:

static {
    GLProfile.initSingleton( true );
}

in your main class to see if that helps (instead of calling initSingleton(false) the way you're currently doing it). Your situation doesn't sound like a driver problem, because the Web Start version runs fine, and it's the same video driver being used for both Web Start and desktop JOGL.
