Yes I'm lurking about. Somewhere either in your main if its a program
or in the init of the Applet do the following to change L&F

      try {
        //UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
        // UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
        // If you want the Cross Platform L&F instead, comment out
        //the above line and uncomment the following:
        UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
                  UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());
      } catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException exc) {
        System.err.println("Warning: UnsupportedLookAndFeel: " + laf);
      } catch (Exception exc) {
        System.err.println("Error loading " + laf + ": " + exc);
      }


After a brief walk through the java source I think I see the problem if
you run the attached code and type into the frame that comes up you will
see the key events printed out on stderr. If you try something like alt
+ F. You will notice the modifiers element is something like Meta+Alt

My guess is that the code that actually processes the events is looking
at a different KeyStroke object than you passed in. So the real
question is what is E passing that fvwm isn't if it works under one and
not the other.

So if you wouldn't mind try this code out under both and examine the
results.
