I agree, that is the definition of an ugly hack. So in terms of an ugly hack to solve your problem -- how to run this java-x app in xmonad... If it's a critical must have app but you are unable to give up xmonad (I'm with you there!), here's an idea. Why not run just this java app in an xnest or xserver-xephyr session? If the app will run and display without a window manager at all, like using startx java-app or having just the java-app in your .xinitrc, then you could even run that nested session without a WM altogether. Or run it fullscreen in whatever WM you can get to work with it. I have absolutely no idea how hard it would be to do this and whether the results would be satisfactory. I also recognise that it's just as ugly a hack as spoofing the WM name, but maybe it would work for you. A
