Hi again,

I have just installed wmii and there the Java programme does work as I
expect it to. I've attached two short pieces of Java code which can be
used to reproduce the problem I have. The TestFrames programme simply
makes a JFrame with a JComponent inside appear. The component adapter is
supposed to report resize events by printing a message to stdout. In DWM
I only see a message after startup. No reaction to resizing the window
is apparent subsequently.

In wmii the same simple programme does produce the expected messages
when
you play around with the window. I installed the latest version of wmii
(the wmii-20060705 tarball).

I hope this provides further clues.

regards,
Anthony
