Hi,
Since I switched from GNOME to Xfce I have a problem with a Java application I use.
After logging in in the application, it starts a splash screen with progress bar and then a window pops up where you have to enter a security code, with an input field and OK and Cancel buttons.
Under GNOME, this all works fine, you fill in the code, click on OK, the window disappears and the splash screen progress bar continues.
Under Xfce (F14 and F15), you fill in the code, click on OK and nothing happens. After OK, you have to click either on Cancel or on the window manager "X" button, and only then the window disappears and the procedure continues in a normal way.
This all is a fully reproducable and deterministic behaviour.
Is this some xfwm4 problem?

Not that I've heard of. What's the Java program?
When you run the application from a terminal, does it print anything useful to STDOUT or STDERR?

It's a stock trading application. A pretty mature and widely used application (it exists for years and has frequent version updates). But it is closed source of course...
This stand-alone Java version is also meant for Mac OSX.

No, it prints nothing at all.

Just to record the solution for my own problem: the problem disappeared after an update of openjdk. Still weird it appeared only under Xfce4 and not under GNOME3, but I'm happy it works ok now.
