I identified two issues preventing the sample from working:
  1. the JVM crash was caused by XOpendDIsplay(null) returning null. Depending on how the node is launched, the DISPLAY environment variable may not be set. This was happening when I launched the node from Eclipse. I had to explicitely define DISPLAY=:0.0 in the launch configuration.
  2. Once that was solved I then got an UnstatisfiedLinkError due to the JVM being unable to load the libXss.so library. Tt seems that by default, the Xss library (X screen saver extensions) is not installed in recent versions of Ubuntu. So I had to install it with "sudo apt-get install libxss1".
After all this, it is now working.
