However, unless you (or another fvwm developer) get in touch with the Java group this problem is unlikely to ever get fixed. I'm not trying to say who's problem it is. I certainly don't know. But we have the classical case of 2 different groups each saying the other group has the bug. It will never get fixed unless the 2 groups communicate. >>If its not the problem you might try contacting Sun about >>bug # 4401846.

This problem was serious enough I stopped using fvwm for several months (I'm back now :-). Gordon >>>"Reuben D.
