Re: java - new windows

as i'm watching that bug report, i got notified about a reply, and i'm
shamed to say it seems to be _really_ a java bug though there is a "fix" for
it in fb side, and it has been already taken care of, and i feel bad for
bringing that up again, though it makes me happy to help andre ;)
for those who care please read the folowing thread
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1572489&group_id=35398&atid=413960
though they show a way to "fix" fluxbox, i'd choose to switch to blackdown
as mark said heheh
for those who really need to use java 1.5, the "fix" shown in this thread
could be valuable, i'm happy someone found that line =D
that's it, sorry mark, and good luck andre!
