Hi Oleg, Thanks a lot for anwering.

The idea behind the code was that the window should show up maximized, and when the user clicks on the maximize icon/button in the window-title-bar, the JFrame should resize to the 800x600 size. > I have tried similar test on my KDE and usually I see correct behavior. > And sometimes I see non-maximized frame 800x600.

Usually it opens up with 800x600 and maximizes, but sometimes it simply stays at 800x600. Could it be that there's a race somewhere, and the window-manager gets the command to maximize before the command to set the window to 800x600? Sleeping 100ms between resizing and maximizing it works reliable: setVisible(true); setSize(800, 600); sleep(100); setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH); With JDK7b19 I somtimes see the window maximized only horizontal (1280 on my laptop) but only 50px high, which is of course even worse, however I never see it 800x600. Any ideas where this could come from? Adding XSync() to XBaseWindow.setBounds does not help ;) Thanks a lot, lg Clemens PS: this has really low priority for me, I just found it and thought its worth reporting. I hope I don't steal any time away ...
