I've experienced different (but probably closely related) problem
with Java. That was jdk-1.1.5 (yes, I know it is very old) and Miralilis'
ICQJava (yes, I know that it is totally a bugware).
When using fvwm-2.4, all ICQ popup windows (e.g. user info,
messages etc.) flash for a moment and disappear. If the same is done
under TWM (which uses ManualPlacement), each window appears *twice* --
first in some "random" place (under the mouse?), and than in exactly the
same place.
Fvwm-2.2.4 didn't have this problem, so this supposedly can
(should?) be fixed, but I don't have a precise idea about why it works as
it works. Can somebody please make comments on it (in fact, general notes
regarding Java + WM, or some pointers to such info) will be very
interesting.
