I noticed this too under JDK 1.1.7 on Solaris 2.6. Some dialogs would
move when you mouse over them. It seemed WM specific though. I had the
problem running FVWM2 on Xfree86, but using Solaris CDE the problem wasn't
present. The other thing was that the only application I noticed this
kind of behavior in was the admin screen of Java Web Server.
