I had a chat with a couple of the developers today. It seems one of
the big issues they have is that java doesn't export any information
about the application running through X. So it doesn't let on what pid
the windows belong to, what application is running in the window etc.
So doing the window matching is incredibly hard.

The fix apparently is to fix java to export that data.

That is interesting. Thanks for looking into it.

But it does beg the thought... in earlier versions of Gnome/Ubuntu (10.10 for me until Sunday morning) this wasn't an issue. I had a load of buttons along the bottom panel to show me what apps I had running (minimised or not). And Talend/Eclipse etc. did work. Now they don't.

I doubt Java has changed that much so I would consider this a regression.

Cheers
