I was wondering if running the java app inside a nested X server would
work as a hack to make it behave usably? I presume that the app would
see no window manager and therefore not activate the java WM-specific
hacks.

I have installed Xephyr (called xserver-xephyr under Debian) to try this
out, but I've not had time to seriously play with it yet. The oddity I
have seen, though, is that dwm rules seem unable to match the xephyr
window when it appears - there seems to be no class:instance:title info
to match against (I patched tag.c to print this info to stderr (as shown
below) - it works fine for all my other clients so far, but prints
nothing for xephyr).

What am I missing? Is this likely to help with the java apps anyway?
