The authors of the Enlightenment window manager have some
interesting comments today about Java:
http://www.enlightenment.org/news.html
Their basic point is that "Java under X (AWT) is Broken"; they
don't mention which Java implementation they're referring to.
I don't think things are all that bad with either version of the
Blackdown port (or with the new IBM 1.1.8 implementation either,
for that matter), but I have noticed that dialogs (in particular)
tend to drift a bit under various window managers, even though
there's explicit code in the application to save and restore
their position. Both Enlightenment and Windowmaker seem to have
this problem, but icewm, last time I checked, did not. Windows
VMs don't seem to have this problem at all.
