Best window manager for Java programs?

[Darrin Cartwright]

Hello All!

I have recently run into a few problems running some Java GUIs on mwm. Most of these are documented bugs, others are just plain annoying. Anyway, I have finally decided to make the switch to a different window manager. After a little research, it seems that there are Java issues with almost all of the window managers out there.
So does anyone have a recommendation for a good window manager? Anyone have a recommendation AGAINST a particular window manager. I would rather make a good choice up front than chase the same class of "bugs" I have been for the last week!

Thanks!
Darrin

Your best bet is prolly KDE or GNOME since they are widely adapted by user community.

KDE or Gnome, sure, but I think most modern window managers are going to be fine. I know that FVWM and MWM have problems with window placement, but these are both really just legacy code at this point.

I highly recommend looking at the xfce 4 desktop environment, which is based on the GTK+ toolkit v2. It's very fast and lightweight, and I've had no problem with windowing apps running within it.
