This is a bug in OpenJDK/swing, not thermostat. OpenJDK is sensitive to which window manager is being used and things break with an unknown window manager [1][2]. You can work around this by: 1. yum install wmname 2. wmname LG3D [1] http://omajid.wordpress.com/2012/04/11/openjdk-and-awesome/ [2] http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Problems_with_Java

awesomewm is now a reparenting window manager. I can not reproduce this bug any more with F19.
