Yeah, they know that problem, but it seems to be non-trivial to get around it. There is an XMonad extension that fakes the WM-name and thus makes things work (can you imagine that? I'm a programmer... my guts *cringe* when I read about a workaround *this* stupid - that's what you get taught in *every* CS class: don't blow it up _that_ seriously!! -Environmental Descriptions- are not to be hardcoded!!). As it seems, this does cause segfaults for some people, however. By the way, I've found out about that xinerama-thing. Well, it was something else entirely, connected to xlib-segfaults when starting java apps. That was a problem a while ago, they seem to have fixed it, though I remember it being around for at least half a year... It seems Sun is letting interns design their X-interface. Though I think interns should actually perform better. Aleks
