I have used JWindow to implement a splash screen for Xenon-SQL. I had a bit
of trouble with `setBounds()' after I packed it and set it the middle of
the screen. I turns out that just packing worked on Linux/KDE but failed on
Solaris/CDE Motif. I have to perform a setSize() and pack() and
setVisible(true) to get the behaviour that I wanted. Weird code.
WISHLIST:
`Window.raiseWindow()' raise the window to the top the native window stack.
`File.chdir( String path )' changed working directory.
`File.canExecute()' file is an executable.
etcetera

Hi Robert,
I'm using KDE.
I think I found a way to temporary solve the problem in my case.
I've noticed that JWindow.setLocation() works fine if the JWindow.isVisible().
Fortunately, I use a class that extends JWindow, so I have overridden the
setLocation method:
public void setLocation(int x, int y)
{
if(!isVisible())
{
setVisible(true);
super.setLocation(x,y);
setVisible(false);
}
else
super.setLocation(x,y);
}
And now it seems to work.
