        We used to have some luck using an ugly hack that's still in the fvwm code. Try
adding the following to your .fvwm2rc:

BugOpts ModalityIsEvil True

        This sets a property on the root window that causes Java (well, all Motif
programs that use the XmIsMotifWMRunning() function, really) to think that mwm
is running, and it makes some adjustments to its behavior. This may work for
you. We'd certainly like to hear if it still works with the 1.4 jdk. (Don't even
ask about the name of the option - it hasn't performed its original function in
years.)


Cheers,
Bob
