The problem is that Java needs to determine the dimensions of the
borders used by the window manager. This is tricky and works
different for almost every window manager (and there are dozens of
window managers). The currently best supported window manager is kwm
from KDE 1.x and we are still working on better support for other
window managers (you can imagine that testing on 10 or more window
managers is very time intensive). The fact that window managers
themselfes have bugs or problems with ICCCM support doesn't make the
the task easier. Also, there are still several place where the AWT
code makes wrong assumptions about timing and the order in which
things happen.
Note that we already support a broader range of window managers than
the Solaris JDK.
