Summary: Key mapping

Initial Comment:
OS = linux 2.6.5 Suse 9.1
System = pIV 512MB
JDK version = 1.5.0_05

In the dialog for get the key, the label never get the
focus and  can't set the key.
Changing to the following piece of code, int the
KeyConfigure class: 		

JOptionPane opain = new JOptionPane(

				message,

				JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE,

				JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, // option type

				null,

				options,

				options[0]);

by this other:

JOptionPane opain = new JOptionPane(

				message,

				JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE,

				JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, // option type

				null,

				options,

				null);


 the label can obtain the focus and can set the key.

Regards

Kenneth
