Windows disappearing when they appear

1998-10-03 Thread Elmo Recio

I am trying to use ICQ with version 1.1.6 of the JDK. Welp, I have to
rename those two files libld.so.1 and libc.so.5 to elmo_blah_1 and
elmo_blah_2 or else ICQ and AIM both core dump. 

Ok, so now it works. Well, not QUITE! Whenever i attempt to ICQ someone
(by double clicking the person or selecting message from pop-up menu) the
new window pops up for a millisecond and disappears. I dunno why it does
this.

The same thing happens with AIM. Whenever i attempt to change my password
or format my screen name, it pops up the window and a millisecond later it
hides the window. 

When i ran it from the command line (rather than through the menu item i
created... am using KDE) i notice that even if I quit AIM/ICQ the window
is still up and the application does not terminate. What I mean is that
the main window is closed but the window that was spawned (ie: message
window in ICQ or password change window in AIM) is still open. I have to
ctrl-c out of it in order to kill the java process.

I am wondering if anyone else had this problem, and whether there is a fix
to it. If i use the standard distro version of slackware's jdk 1.1.4-v2 i
do not have these problems.

system: p100
os: slackware linux 3.5 
kernel: 2.0.35
support for java bin as module (but not loaded)
appl:   ICQ 98a preview
aim 1.22x
aim 1.1x

cheers,
elmo

Hrm, i checked it out in FVWM2 and it worked fine. Seems to be a problem
with KDE then. Is there anyone else out there using KDE that experienced
these problems and have they done anything about these problems?

I know this is off topic (i guess) email me personally then. Otherwise,
i'll shout at some kde people about this ;)

cheers,
