I'm using the applet here: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1069669 with gcjappletviewer. (As of this writing I needed a patch to make this work at all, see the classpath-patches list.)
Sometimes running this applet works fine. Other times, the window appears but it is very small. When I resize it, I see that the buttons are there, but the rest of the contents (the chess board) are not. It seems to start more reliably when I run gcjappletviewer in the debugger. -- Summary: race condition with java applet Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: AWT AssignedTo: fitzsim at redhat dot com ReportedBy: tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org,java-prs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21600
