I don't > get the empty gray box typical of non-reparenting wm. Very possible a wm bug. However, my luck with openjdk has been minimal. And yes, the `wmname LG3D' trick should work to resolve the reparenting issue (if this is the issue in this case).
Almost all my luck has been by tunneling back from a linux box running sun's (oracle's) jdk, and I haven't run into any reparenting issues (with LG3D of course). Completely unhelpful though, I'm sure. I'd be curious to see your issue first hand to figure out if it is a wm bug for sure or not. I gather it is not from the below example? > [I was just about to suggest adding cwm to the workaround list, but I see > it's already there, so that explains wmname not doing anything.
