Ok, that's the only Java app I have installed (because it's the only one you report bugs for), and the ^O dialog woks fine for me.

I think I may have narrowed down the problem this morning.  I assume
that wmii reads keystrokes first from X.org and checks for the various
keybindings.  If it doesn't find any, it passes them to the currently
focused client.

Nope, it tells the server which bindings it needs and the server sends it only those bindings (with the exception of chained keys, which require a grab after the first key press). It's more likely that it's somehow not getting input focus back (or doesn't think it is). Does its titlebar get any unusual borders?

The object-oriented model makes it easy to build up programs by
accretion.  What this often means, in practice, is that it provides a
structured way to write spaghetti code.
