Kendall,<br>AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit does not work well and introduce many problems to java apps, to solve the gray window problem use just the setWMName workaround.<br>There&#39;s another known problem with java <a href="http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177" target="_blank">issue 177</a>, java apps appear to receive focus but keyboard doesn&#39;t work until user clicks on the window.<br>


Have not applied the patch yet, but it seems to solve this.<br><br clear="all">Henrique G.

I noticed that I get the same non-working keyboard in whatever KDE&#39;s window manager is. Unsetting that environment variable, I have not had the non-working keyboard in xmonad so far.<br>



<br>
So, I first set AWT_TOOLKIT which fixed the grey window problem. Then I tried setting setWMName to LG3D in EwmhDesktops.hs, but left AWT_TOOLKIT set, which seems to cause the non-working keyboard problem.<br>
