 Haven't noticed any issues.

 Can you post a recipe for demonstrating the problem?

See http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.fvwm.devel/5219-- that
link has an example Java program.  It's just that the patches proposed in that
thread do not help.  We are using Java 1.7.0_17-b02.  But our problem goes
beyond the resize issue-- the application may not ever allow the text field to
get focus.

There is a JDK bug that seems to be very similar:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8009224.  The OpenJDK
discussion for this is at
http://openjdk.5641.n7.nabble.com/lt-AWT-Dev-gt-Bug-100300-JDK7-looses-focus-under-e16-window-manager-td120166.html.
 The implication of the March 13 message in that thread is that the window
manager is not following an appropriate Global Active focus model.  Whatever
that means.

  I've committed a fix to CVS.  Please try that (branch-2_6 in CVS).
  
 
 I applied the java_fix.patch to 2.6.5 (since I don't immediately know how to 
 get
 the branch from CVS) and added BugOpt Java7FocusWorkaround True to the 
 startup
 file.  It didn't help.

Well, that patch isn't correct with respect to the fix I added to CVS.
