All,
I've had this problem before. With Open Source projects I've been able t=
o fix=20
these by problems by making sure that pack() is called before=20
setResizable(false) when contructing the main (or dialog) window.
I sent the above advice to TogetherSoft for a number of their dialog boxe=
s in=20
Together/J 5.5, and they were fairly prompt in fixing them.
I believe that the problem with KDE and the native VM is that the=20
setResizable(false) actually works *correctly*, not allowing pack() to re=
size=20
the window.
A lot of sample code I've seen is in the order:
frame.setResizable(false);
frame.pack();
That doesn't make sense. pack() resizes the pane to be optimal, but the =
frame=20
was already told to not allow resizing.
T h e c o r r e c t o r d e r i s :
frame.pack();
frame.setResizable(false);
My advice is to write the maker of the software and ask what order=20
setResizable(false) and pack() are called. Most likely they're backwords=
=20
without the original author even realizing the importance of order. But =
it's=20
a very simple fix, and more logical coding.
I feel it's a bug with the product, not the VM nor WM.
