What's the x? Redhat 7.0 is very different from Redhat 7.3, and they're
both kinda obsolete (end RPM Dependency Hell, move to Debian or Gentoo
today!)

I think it's a problem with your GNOME config, not an X problem, not
really a Java problem. I compiled the code on my Linux desktop using
the Blackdown 1.4.1 JDK/JRE and saw perfect window decorations and
titles (but I'm using KDE 3.1; I'm not a big fan of GNOME.) Which window
manager are you using? Check its control panel/look-n-feel and see if
there's something about "apply GNOME look-n-feel to non-GNOME
applications", or anything about handling window manager hints, or
something.

Hm. There's no exit handler, and I had to kill -HUP it. Oh well...
HTH anyway.
