_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK protocol.
</p><p>May be useful for making Java GUI programs work, just set WM name to <a href="LG3D.html">LG3D</a>
and use Java 1.6u1 (1.6.0_01-ea-b03 works for me) or later.
</p><p>To your <code>~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs</code> file, add the following line:
</p><pre> import XMonad.Hooks.SetWMName
</pre><p>Then edit your <code>startupHook</code>:
</p><pre> startupHook = setWMName "LG3D"
</pre><p>For details on the problems with running Java GUI programs in non-reparenting
WMs, see <a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6429775">http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6429775</a> and
related bugs.
</p><p>Setting WM name to <a href="compiz.html">compiz</a> does not solve the problem, because of yet
another bug in AWT code (related to insets). For LG3D insets are explicitly
set to 0, while for other WMs the insets are "guessed" and the algorithm
fails miserably by guessing absolutely bogus values.
