It's a demo showing off the Swing GUI toolkit. Dunno about Sun, but IBM
includes it with their SDK. Pretty nifty, I guess. Demonstrates that

Description: Binary data
As mentioned in a previous posting to the blackbox mailing list, I offer
up a patch for bbkeys to support keyboard-mouse support. My patch is the
code only at this point. If it is acceptable, then some other stuff
needs to be tweaked (man pages, Perl config script, bbconf, etc.).

I've done just that by patching bbkeys. I'm getting the patch ready to
submit to the bbkeys folks, but here's the basic idea:
I added the following actions to bb

I did some tweaking last night and have a patch nearly ready. It

There's been lots of discussion on the problems with JBuilder/Java dialog
problems, but I've lost track of what I can do next to be of help.
Anything I can do at this point? I've got a box here running JBuilder 6,
and I'm ready to help out.

Done. Here's the poop:
- With xfwm (part of Xfce), JBuilder works perfectly well-- i.e. dialogs
are the right size/location

Really? Weird-- I'm definitely saeeing it with Jbuilder6, Enterprise

I'm using JBuilder6. I noticed a post from someone else using JBuilder7,
and they were experiencing the same problems.

Weird. Anyone with any sort of familiarity with another wm have any idea
what they are doing that is different?

Anyone else working with JBuilder and Blackbox?
With other window managers, JBuilder's dialogs are okay, but with
Blackbox, they open way too big (as in much larger than the actual screen
size).
Any thoughts on what's up? Is BB providing some hinting for window sizes
that is screwing things
I see there has been some discussion about being able to invoke the menu
and navigate it using the keyboard.
What's the definitive word on this?
