Re: java - new windows

i agree, it might be a java problem, but if it works in other window
managers, it's a fluxbox fault too. probably java is doing strange things
one could not predict, but other window managers can handle it, why cant our
window manager do it too? maybe if i were a fluxbox developer and never use
java apps i wouldn't bother fixing it, but i think fluxbox deserves the fix!
i already tried to fix another fb bug but it wouldn't come to a happy end as
i dont know fb code and structure and all, would take too long and i was
busy and gave up. but maybe i could try again hehe or any of us, i believe
there's a lot of developers among fb users... unfortunately most are always
too busy =\
