Hi all,
Most times pop-up dialogs in Netbeans don't accept any keyboard input but they do respond to mouse input. I have to close and open them several times before a cursor shows up. I used the documented setWMName hack [1] to get around the Java grey screen issue. I am running Netbeans 6.9 and Xmonad 0.9.1.

thanks!

main = xmonad $ defaultConfig {
                                focusFollowsMouse = False ,
                                XMonad.keys = newKeys,
                                layoutHook = showWName mylayoutHook ,
                                terminal="gnome-terminal",
                                startupHook = setWMName "LG3D" -- get around Java grey screen issue
                              }
