Bug#599694: libwnck22: Loses track of Java app windows with modal dialogs

[Alexander Hvostov]

Package: libwnck22
Version: 2.30.4-2
Severity: normal

When a Java application has multiple main windows (i.e. Frames), and at least
one of them has a modal dialog blocking it, WNCK applications (like the GNOME
window picker applet or avant-window-navigator) seem to "forget" about that
window, even after the modal dialog closes.

I have attached a small Java program that demonstrates this behavior. It brings
up two JFrames and blocks one with a modal JDialog, but the frame with the
dialog does not appear in the window picker or in AWN.

Unfortunately I am not an X programmer, or I would try to investigate this
issue further.
