Re: [dwm] text focus issues in java text fields
Note, I will investigate into the Java compliance issue again in January. I hope that we will get some usable workaround for the broken XToolkit, that we can get rid of the MToolkit. My favorized solution might be a JDK-fix. I once already was about starting to hack XWM.java of the XToolkit, but got interrupted for some reason.

I have to change to other wm (openbox) whenever I want to use java apps suffering from this problem -- quite annoying, as you might imagine.
