Re: [dwm] LimeWire does not work with dwm

>From "man dwm":

       Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw
       grey windows only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks
       ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early JDK 1.6 versions,
       because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround
       you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn’t contain the XToolkit/XAWT
       backend) or you can set the following environment variable (to
       use the older Motif back‐end instead): AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit.
