Hiya,

Sorry if this is covered in a FAQ. BTW where is the FAQ for java-linux?

I have this wierd problem with appletviewer where anytime I view an
applet with a TextField or a TextArea, the applet moves to like
-30-30. This only happens with, as far as I can tell, text components,
and not dependent on what LayoutManager is being used.

Strangely enough, if I activate the FVWM main popup menu a second after
starting appletviewer, FVWM apparently blocks the appletviewer, then
when I click somewhere else, the appletview appears and does not move
off-screen.

I'm using:

JDK 1.1.5, Version 7
FVWM2 + Afterstep (stock Redhat stuff)
RedHat5/i386/kernel2.1.99

Below is an example which exhibits this behavior. If you comment out the
adding of the TextField, it doesn't exhibit the behavior.

  import java.applet.*;
  import java.awt.*;

  public class CrashMe extends Applet{

      public void init() {
	  add(new Label("Am I Sleep-Dep'd?"));
	  add(new TextField("Hello World!"));
      }
  }
