It may be complete nonsense. However, unless you (or another fvwm
developer) get in touch with the Java group this problem is unlikely
to ever get fixed.
I'm not trying to say who's problem it is. I certainly don't know.
But we have the classical case of 2 different groups each saying
the other group has the bug. It will never get fixed unless the
2 groups communicate.

Well, do you want the problem fixed or not? This problem was serious
enough I stopped using fvwm for several months (I'm back now :-).
