Heres some information on the FVWM JAVA problems from Eric Hawkes at Sun. It looks like they have some fixes coming, and we can do some stuff to improve our Java support.
Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 17:08:12 -0700 From: Eric Hawkes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: Sun Microsystems To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Java and fvwm Hi Dan, ... Much of the code that handles window manager interaction has recently been reworked, and we expect that Java GUI applications will work better under fvwm in our next beta release: J2SE v1.4 beta3 (planned for release in a month or so). There has been some internal debate over the best way to support fvwm. One opinion was that we needed a way to detect it programmatically. Many window managers support the freedesktop.org window manager spec: http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec.html We detect some window managers explicitly using _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK Another proposed strategy was to write more general code for the case where we cannot explicitly detect the running window manager. This is the method we now use for fvwm. ... Thanks, Eric Hawkes -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
