[arch-general] xmonad and java environment
Hi all, I've installed openproj from AUR and met the following issue: the program runs, but the main GUI window is blank (no buttons, menus - nothing), although the dialog windows appear normal. I don't have much experience with java, and tried both jre and openjdk6 - with the same result. Then I tried to run openproj without any window manager, and it worked! I noticed that openjdk6 warns: when you use a non-reparenting window manager set _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 in /etc/profile.d/openjdk6.sh So the setting of that env. variable indeed helps with openjdk6, but not with jre. Any advices? Thanks, Sergey

Use openjdk6 or make XMonad lie about its identity: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#Problem... Am I the only one who thinks hardcoding a list of WMs is abhorrent design?

You're the only one who thinks he's the only one :P

Setting up a startup hook with startupHook = setWMName "LG3D" should help, see http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#Problem...
