No, this from e_hints.c: /* * I don't FUCKING believe it. if we PRETEND we are Kwin - java is happy. * why? it expects a double reparenting wm then. java insists on finding this * out when it should be irrelevant! stupid code! I can't believe the time we * just wasted hunting a bug that wasn't and that is due to sheer stupid * coding (in java's awt layer that swing also uses). */ /* Now for more stupidity... Openoffice.org will change its look and feel * depending on what wm it thinks there is... so if we pretend to be Kwin... * it tries to use kde preferences, if found. */ /* I have disabled this now by pretending to be E16 with e16 comms. this * means java plays nice and uses our FRAME property.. but we had to do other * evil stuff as java EXPECTS all this at REPARENT time... i've deferred * reparenting... i hate java! */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
