Package: openjdk-6-jre Version: 6b11-9.1+lenny2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
Hello, I discovered the _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING from #508650 by chance. It is very useful, and I am glad to see that a patch was developped to work around this Java bug. However it is hard to find it. I think it is worth being documented in the README.Debian: here is a patch for that.
