 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
-backend instead):
-.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
