java GUIs? Oh no, not again!
Hi folks, Running Netbeans or other Java applications there are problems with autoraise and automatic input focus. It doesn't work. All kinds of windows are managed as expected, except for the Java GUIs. Using Gnome, KDE, enlightenment or even good old vtwm there is no such problem. I saw this mentioned several times before, but there was nothing helpful. (Or did I miss something?) Is there any chance that you sit together with the Java folks to get this problem solved? Regards Harri

Right, and you would have seen various references pointing using things like 'Lenience' as a style option which *might* help, but there's no guarantee of that. Is there any chance that you sit together with the Java folks to get this problem solved? We've tried before. It's not something Sun seem to bothered to fix. -- Thomas Adam

Of course I had tried Style NetBeans* NeverFocus, Lenience before. Sorry, I should have mentioned it in my first post.

Maybe they are more open if we can show that other window managers need some dirty workarounds to manage Java GUIs, or that AWT applications are not ICCCM compliant in general. Regards Harri
