Description:

Bibtex reference manager Jabref 2.9 no longer works with Ratpoison windows manager (displays only a grey screen, which can be closed with Cntrl-q). However, Jabref does work correctly when running Openbox as a temporary windows manager under Ratpoison.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce (under Ratpoison):

$ jabref
(grey screen, close with Cntrl-q)

Cntrl-t :
(opens Ratpoison's command window)

tmpwm openbox
(runs openbox windows manager)

$ jabref
(jabref now works correctly)

close jabref, and leave the openbox windows manager to return control to ratpoison

$ jabref
(same problem as before

I suspect this is a java issue and has nothing todo with jabref.

Also jabref is unsupported. Assigning to ratpoison maintainer in case they can help.

Please uncomment the 'export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1' line in /etc/profile.d/jre.sh, log out, and try again.
