I use a Java stock streamer to watch my stocks (including RHAT!). Under 6.1 and now under 6.2 as well whenever the streamer appears under a gnome window manager most of the window stays white. Only a small section of the window in the centre bottom is painted correctly. I have tried it under Enlightenment, twm and Window Maker all of which fail. Under kde and fvwm I do not see this problem and the streamer works OK. This is going to be a tricky one to chase as someone in RedHat support will have to register with Datek to gain access to the streamer. To register goto http://www.datek.com and click apply, Register for streamer. Don't worry its free to register. I have phoned Datek and asked if there is a demo account to save you registering but they insist that someone registers.
jonathan - can you test this out with Sawfish (and maybe E16)
Just tried accessing the streamer without logging into datek and still get the problem. This means you can investigate without opening a streamer account! just goto http://www.datek.com/investcenter/login.html and click streamer. When the applet loads you will see the problem immediately. Also I will be leaving Oracle shortly so my e-mail address will change to sfalvey I have put that in the CC above. I would be grateful if you could make that the primary contact address. Thanks Simon
Works fine for me now with 7.1 sawfish. I think this is an Old Resolved Bug(tm).
