Comment #16 on issue 177 by f.luithle: xmonad does not follow ICCCM and ignores WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177 I can confirm Simon's observation. The regression observed with xev is ugly -- still I prefer a working Netbeans and jEdit over a working xev at this moment... Maybe somebody with a working knowledge of the X protocol (not me) could have a closer look. I have a hunch we're not far away from a clean patch. In any case, Xmonad not cooperating with Java Swing applications should be a no-no. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
