Re: FVWM: Windows for java apps Don't Obey Placement

[Gordon Prieur]

Hi,

    I just looked at the Java bug report and they experimented with a
fix for Java 1.4 and decided its a fvwm bug. The comment in the bug
evaluation says that fvwm ignores gravity when handling
ConfigureRequests. Perhaps one of the current fvwm developers could
take a look at this and see if this is true and if it fixes the
problem. If its not the problem you might try contacting Sun about
bug # 4401846. Perhaps the 2 sets of developers (fvwm and Java) can
get this resolved together.

Hi,
I have a rather annoying problem when running java apps. The windows that are

produced by java apps don't obey my manual placement. For some of the apps, it always goes right to the top left corner of my virtual window, hiding even

the handles and menu in the handles, make me cannot grab it to move it.

For some windows app, it just tends to go more to the top left.

This is a Java problem.

Java looks for a few different window managers, and if it doesn't
find them, it misbehaves.  Fvwm is not on the list of window managers
that it looks for.

We've contacted the Java developers, and its my understanding that
Java 1.4 should start working better.
