Re: FVWM: Java buttons lost

A bit of a coincidence, but I was just getting ready to post
a similar message. I can add a bit of my info as well:

In my case I'm running a PC w/Linux. I've tried numerous
versions of FVWM (2.4.15/2.5.6). If I switch to GNOME
or KDE, things work fine. I'm actually running my Java
applet on a remote machine with the display set to my
machine. In my case, the problem seems to
be intermittent... about 70% of the time, things work, sometimes
they don't. Seems like when I start the applet up, if things
work, they always work, but if it fails, my program's GUI
hangs, and I have to kill it.

In my case too, the problem seems to effect primarily windows
which have a title bar on them (with the exception of the primary
window) If the new window that comes up has a title bar, things
are pretty much hung. Non-titled dialog boxes seem to
get handled fine.

In addition, for the main window of this program, if I set it such
that on startup a portion of the window occurs offscreen, when I pull
the window onto my visible desktop, the program acts like it doesn't
see that section... even if I do a resize, this "missing area" always
ends up non-renderred.

Another weird thing I noticed... I can run the exact same program
on a MUCH slower machine with the same configuration (redhat 9 and
same .fvwm2rc file), and things always work. (or at least, I was
10 for 10, whereas in the other machine, I was 1 for 10)

The "slow" machine is an old 200Mhz Compaq, and "fast" machine is
I believe a 1.8Ghz Dell Laptop.
