Thanks for your post, John - please excuse my delay in responding. Strangely, our 1x1 dialog problem is not Java related. It's happening on dialogs created by XmCreateMessageDialog() in C code. As I mentioned, it's more likely to occur when the CPU is under load and/or the X server has a backlog of events to work through due to being swapped out. Our workaround is to add a map callback for the dialog; when it fires, we see if the dialog was mapped "too small" and if so, allow the dialog shell to become resizeable (we are also looking at a programmatic forced resize to a hardwired height and width). My suspicion is that both your problem and ours have the same root cause, but at this point I can't be sure whether it's an fvwm problem or an X server problem. (We run 2.4.7 on Solaris 8 now; previously we ran fvwm95 on Solaris 7.) I'd be curious to know if anyone else has seen the 1x1 problem outside of Java.
