Hi,

I need to use logisim, a tool for designing and simulating logic
circuits. But the problem is that logisim is built in Java, and due to
well-known issue in Java it doesn't launch properly in dwm. I just
installed xfce4 and checked that logisim works perfectly fine with it.
After moving around in xfce4 for an hour and due to previous usage,
I'm thinking of switching back to xfce. I wouldn't even think about it
if it was not so difficult to install xfce from source.

Anyway, I'd like to keep using dwm, but it doesn't lauch the
previously mentioned tool because it was built in Java. I have tried
the following solution suggested by ArchWiki, but it doesn't work for
logisim. If anyone else has any idea, please let me know.

```
export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
```

Thanks,
Enan Ajmain
