broken menus in java apps #76

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When running java GUI apps, menus are not "selectable". Clicking on the
menu item opens the dropdown list of options but you can't select one. Both
the apps I've found that do this are packaged as jars, and I don't know if
they use Swing or AWT. The same apps work OK using Metacity.

I'm using xmonad 0.4 on ubuntu Feisty with the Sun JRE 1.6.

Thanks for the report!

Are you using the java environment workaround to correct java gui behaviour with
non-parenting window managers:

No, I wasn't aware of that and it seems to fix it. 

Thanks!

Resolved as another symptom of Java gui libs not supporting non-reparenting 
window
managers out of the box.

The faq is updated with additional advice.
