Hi
I always used to have this problem with FVWM. I put it down to a terrible
window manager.
I've never had this problem with CDE.
Check your program out with another different window manager.
Tacky solution: Set the location on all your windows to be Y = 0+(height
of title bar), so that in the worst case the title bar should always be
visible on the screen.
Best Regards
Nicholas

> Hi,
>
> We are developing some Java applications using Swing and
Java1.2.something on Unix. One of the problems we are having is that the
application does not seem to communicate with the Window Manager (in this
case CDE and FVWM). The application main window always starts in the upper
left hand corner of the screen such that the title bar is off the top of
the screen.
>
> Our temporary solution is to set the window location to the center of the
screen, however this has the undesirable effect of having subsequent
invocations of the same application appear directly on top of the existing
one rather than cascade nicely down as with normal X applications that
communicate with the Window manager. It is much more desirable for us to
have the applications managed by the window manager rather than having them
always placed in one consistent location.
>
> Does anyone have a nicer solution (besides implementing our own Java
window manager)?
>
> I have noticed that there are a few (maybe more than a few) bugs with
Swing/AWT on Unix with Java1.2.X and I see that some of these bugs have
already been filed with sun and are still pending, such as the default
location being one with the title bar off the top of the screen.
