[ Subject was Re: Working Button mnemonics under Linux Java?]
Hello Jim
Another another thing: Can anyone get a X11 selection, say from an XTerm or
Emacs and paste it directly into a JTextArea or JTextField? I cannot do it.
Is this Swing/JDK related or is it another XFree86 problem ?
( I remember pasting stuff into the AWT TextArea with no problems.
Maybe it is because Swing components are Lightweight whereas AWT's are
heavyweight and native windows )

Another thing that bothers me: In my linux-jdk1.1.6v2 pressing return
in a TextArea (or JTextArea or even Netscape Navigator ) does produce
a newline. Is this a related problem?
Some one did mention to check out libBroken.so but I could not find it
in the Slackware sources.

I did some more tests of my own, and found that it is in fact related to
XFree86. Running Metro-X, Swing mnemonics work; under XFree86 3.3.2.3
they do not, with everything else the same.
I'll investigate some more and try to figure out why this is, and if there
is a workaround or fix. In the meantime, you could always buy Metro-X
(only $39)... :-)
