Comment #11 on issue 559 by dtrne...@googlemail.com: Redraw of Gnomeapps fails https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=559 The solution is to NOT USE the SetWMName extension in order to convince Java that xmonad is "LG3D" (which is a deprecated way of working around the gray java windows). Because this SetWMName breaks GTK3-apps, see the xmonad FAQ: https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#Using_SetWMName Instead use the preferred method (see FAQ https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#Preferred_Method) and set an environment variable _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 at startup. I did this by adding the following to my xmonad.hs: import System.Posix.Env (putEnv) and adding the putEnv line to the startup of xmonad: main = do putEnv "_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1" Now I can use all java applications and GTK3-apps. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
