I ran into a problem with Java JRE 1.4 applications running under
ctwm on Linux. Whenever a Java app created a new window, the
window would appear on the screen, but the app would then freeze
for 5+ seconds before drawing the window. I could unfreeze the
app sooner by moving or resizing the window.
I poked around and found that it happens under ctwm with the options
UsePPosition "on"
UseThreeDBorders
or under ctwm (and twm too) with
UsePPosition "on"
BorderWidth 0
I reported it as a bug in Java, but also came up with a satisfactory
ctwm workaround to use in the meantime.
In HandleConfigureRequest in events.c, I added the following
code before the call to SetupFrame:
/* Workaround for Java 1.4 bug that freezes the application whenever
* a new window is displayed. (When UsePPosition is on and either
* UseThreeDBorders or BorderWidth 0 is set.)
*/
if (!bw)
sendEvent = True;
Thought I might share this in case anybody else has that problem.
