------------------------------------
Also...
As Jacques said, XFCE is a _lot_ faster than Gnome, so it would be a good
choice for POS if not for the modal problem.

> Hi,
> I am experiencing a big issue using OFBiz Point-Of-Sale application over
> Linux (Debian Etch) with Java JDK 1.5.0.x
> The problem is that the POS main screen behaves like a modal blocking window
> in Linux. Once the main screen is displayed, you cannot
> switch to another window of the system with Alt+Tab. What is worst, when the
> application tries to display an "Alert message" (like
> for example "Product Not Found" when you press SKU) the alert is actually
> presented behind the main screen, instead of on top of it.
> So, you cannot accept the message and you can neither do anything with the
> main screen: the application is blocked. Then I have to
> log in with a different TTY and kill the java process.
> This behaviour is not reproduced over Windows XP with the same Java JDK: you
> can swith to other application with Alt+Tab and alert
> messages are properly displayed in top.
> I just wanted to ask if anyone has tried POS over Linux and experienced such
> a problem. I'm a newbie to OFBiz and maybe I am doing
> something wrong. Otherwise, this is a big issue that has to be put in Jira.
> BTW, should I put the issue in Jira myself or is it
> restricted to developers ?

> 1. Alt+Tab problem
> I just tried on updated Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) using last svn (rev.
> 490054) and Sun JDK 1.4.2_08 without any problems at all
> (BTW I never saw this problem before but must acknowledge that I'm worling
> more on XP). Did you try to use your mouse to switch to
> another task ? Is it only alt+tab that is not working ? Something strange
> though : Alt+Tab shows 2 windows for the POS : one
> labelled "OFBiz POS" corresponding to inner POS window and another one not
> labelled at all and corresponding to a frame (you see the
> frame only before loging) around what I suppose is the main window (the
> inner one). This last window may also corresponds to the
> splash screen not closed(?) because when lauching the POS I see one window
> without name related to the POS.
> 2. When (for instance) the "Product not found" dialog box is (normally) shown.
> In this case I can see also 2 POS related tasks with alt+tab and may access
> to others (non OFBiz POS) tasks without any problems.
> But YES I'm caught in POS and can't get back to it because the "Product not
> found" dialog box is no more accessible. Now if you try
> to do same thing with the modal box that appears when you use "Save Sale" you
> get the same behaviour. I tested this because these 2
> windows are not build in the same way. "Save Sale" is a pure XUI window.
> BTW I confirm that they are no problems on Windows.
