Our window manager is Matchbox, it is not window-less but full- screen, that is, it resizes each top-level window to cover the whole screen. In theory this should work fine with all well-behaved X11 apps, and in practice it seems to work for most. Can't help with Java specifically.

Alt-Tab cycles through the windows, including the Journal. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Re: Fooling with Java
Thanks Guys. I decided to try something a bit lighter weight so i installed JEdit. I discovered that alt-p/alt-n and at elast for JEdit that works to get my editor window up front. Two oddities in mtachbook/java pairing still. (1) Although the system window is full screen its not resizing the Java pane to full screen but to more like 1/3 of the screen. I'm wondering if matchbook is somehow lying to Java about the native window size. I suspect I could hack that for a OLPC build since the screen size is a constant. (2) More importantly, pull down Java?Swing menus don't work right. When I cli k on the menu it appears but as soon as I release the button it disappears. The proper behavior, and what I see with this same jar file on other systems, is that the menu stays so you can select an entry. Second part of this is even if I try to do hold button and drag to select an entry , it doesn't highlight the entry right. Its worth noting that using KB short cuts for menus and entries DOES do the right thing on screen so it seems like its specific to the mouse interraction. Other then that, it seems to work great!
