Hmm, I've seen that problem with the SWING stuff, but never with the stock JDK's off a SUN box. (I using fvwm1 on most of the SUN's, and olwm on the others.) > I admit to not having had the slightest idea what the code I disabled > was attempting to do.

Interestingly enough, the stock SUN code seems to work fine for fvwm, so I'm not sure why it was changed for FreeBSD.

Hmm, maybe I'll disable the code and see what happens (privately). Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
