Seems there’s an assumption in Sun Java 1.5 about window managers which causes it to bug out with Compiz & Xgl. A temporary workaround is: export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit or grab Compiz CVS and apply the following patches: — dix/window.c 2006/05/29 18:12:27 1.1 +++ dix/window.c 2006/05/29 18:15:15 @ -1265,8 +1265,12 @ result = EventSelectForWindow(pWin, client, (Mask )*pVlist); [...]
