further reading reports that Sun's marketing group has declared GNOME/Sawfish the only truly supported Linux desktop environment. Not KDE/Kwin, not E, Sawfish. Period. Under Solaris they support Sawfish and CDE. Lots of user commentary about this on the bug pages. Many people noting that KDE and GNOME have a similar market share. I am a little surprised to hear the IBM's jre is also showing these issues as many people recommend running it or blackdown due to Sun's refusal to fix things. Damn near all of the fvwm bugs are marked "wont be fixed". If you are using blackbox please make yourself heard. Let them know this is preventing you from working, supporting a client, etc and that you are trying other Java solutions.
