This has come up a number of times, especially with KDE as the WM.
I believe that the problem with KDE and the native VM is that the
setResizable(false) actually works *correctly*, not allowing pack() to resize
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
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
setResizable(false) and pack() are called. Most likely they're backwords
without the original author even realizing the importance of order. But it's
a very simple fix, and more logical coding.
I feel it's a bug with the product, not the VM nor WM.
