Re: [dwm] dealing with badly-behaved GUI applications

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I did try floating layout, with the same result, unfortunately. With a different swing app, one called jMemorize, I was able to run it using floating layout, but there was odd behaviour with menu items. I had to click about 8-10 pixels below a menu item to select it. In a nested X server it was fine.

Did you try running this app in floating layout?

Kind regards,
