Hi,
I just looked at the Java bug report and they experimented with a
fix for Java 1.4 and decided its a fvwm bug. The comment in the bug
evaluation says that fvwm ignores gravity when handling
ConfigureRequests. Perhaps one of the current fvwm developers could
take a look at this and see if this is true and if it fixes the
problem. If its not the problem you might try contacting Sun about
bug # 4401846. Perhaps the 2 sets of developers (fvwm and Java) can
get this resolved together.
