Hmm, that does look promising.... I am adding a comment to the linked bug
report on the KDE website. Nice find!

It din't happen with Blackdown's, but that was java 1.3. I couldn't get
Blackdown's 1.4 to work.

That doesn't exists (or it does, but you can't really call when you need
to), but I've used undocrated JFrames instead and that seems ok for my
application, so I'm okay. Now I just want to make sure the right people
know.

Thanks for all your help!
