I notice two kinds of problems (only with Java 1.5, Java 1.4 behaves
always well):
If a Java application shows an input window, the main window does not
get the focus back after the dialog window is closed, no way what I
do with the mouse, or which settings I use for feeling.
The "background windows". If an application shows a widget which can
be used with the mouse only, everything is fine for the first time.
If the application sets the widget invisible because everything is
entered and I reopen it later again (setting it visible) it does not
get a "window" any more. No borders, no handles it stays on the root
window on every desktop/screen without a possibility to move or
activate it.

As my main applications for work are written in Java 1.5 (not by me)
I have to run a separate window manager (fluxbox) in a xnest to get
my Java work done - no really acceptable work around.
Best wishes
