Summary:                    window content display is slow with wm 0.92 and java
swing apps on Sol-10
Description: 
I have noticed a strange behavior with windowmaker 0.92 on Solaris 10 when
using swing based java apps. When a java application opens a second, third,
etc. window, the window shows up right away but stays gray for about 5
seconds. Only after these five seconds the content is displayed. There is
no CPU hogging or anything like this going on during these 5 seconds,
everything appears to be normal. truss also doesn\'t show anything
extraordinary.

I have reproduced the bug with a windowmaker 0.92 compiled from scratch
without using any of the CSW packages. The bug is NOT present in
windowmaker 0.91. CDE and Gnome as shipped with Solaris-10 are OK as well.
I haven\'t checked any other Solaris releases, but I have confirmed that
the bug is present with XSun X server AND via vnc using the Xvnc X server.
Also, the version of JRE doesn\'t matter, I checked several 1.4 and 1.5
versions.

Our environment:
- SunFire 280R with Solaris 10 Sparc 01/06
- up-to-date patches
- windowmaker 0.92 from CSW
- Xsun or Xvnc X server

How to reproduce:
Use e.g. JMoneyAtHome (http://freshmeat.net/projects/jmoneyathome)
as test application. Start the app using \"java -jar j*.jar\".
The main window show up OK, then use the \"Help>About\" menu
to display a window with \"about\" information. With wm 0.91 the
window contents are displayed right away, with wm 0.92 one has to wait. The
bug is really annoying if one has to work with java apps that open a lot of
windows.

It would be great to at least have the wm 0.91 package available until this
is fixed.

Thanks,
Dirk

This is a six year old bug. I've recently done a release of a new version,
and I assume that a lot has changed. If there are still problems, please
file a bug again.
