Public bug reported: AWT filters out all ConfigureNotify if the toplevel is not reparented. As Compiz and other compositors do not reparent windows, this effectively breaks (re)draw for many Swing apps (e.g. jIRCii and Frostwire).
The simple fix is to define a working AWT toolkit in the environment. export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit ** Affects: sun-java6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- AWT filters out all ConfigureNotify if the toplevel is not reparented https://launchpad.net/bugs/98503 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
