Rob,
I just compiled and ran the framework you posted. I was able to
reproduce the bug, but no consistently.
If I grew the desktop pane vertically only to start, any resizing
afterwards worked fine. If I had the app
close at a larger size than 640x480, the system worked fine. If I
resize before hitting new to a size larger than the 640x480, it locked.
If I did this after any resize outlined above that worked, it worked
fine.
It's very spooky as a bug. I have seen a number of wierd items happen
with java 1.2 and linux, mostly relating to window positioning and
sizing. The Enlightenment window manager developers have boiled it down
to some pretty detailed points relating to hints from the Window
environment to Java, and some bad assumptions (their opinion) on Java's
windowing code.
I'm not sure where the fault lies. If it's in the master window widget,
then the JDK team should be able to ferret it out very easily. If it's
in the aforementioned interface between windowing environment and the
JDK/JRE, I don't honestly know the solution. I haven't heard a digested
response from SUN or the Blackdown team on the issue. If they recognize
is as an issue.
You may wish to try other window managers just to test. I found
enlightenment had the most glitches with Java, and I've had the least
with windowMaker. Your Mileage May Vary. :-S
