Clicking on one of the main menu items cause the menu to drop down in the wrong location. Note: this does not happen when using JVM 1.3.x. I don't know if this is related to the window manager I am using or not (Netbeans is the only Swing app I could find this issue in). I am using stanard GNOME, RH 7.2, Sawfish WM: sawfish-0.38-ximian.5 sawfish-themes-0.2-ximian.1 sawfish-themer-0.38-ximian.5 Screenshot to be attached.

Dafe, AWT/Swing is yours ;-)
Marking this as wontfix. It is jvm x window manager issue. We created simple examples and were able to reproduce the issue. Note this problem is only with heavyweight menu, i.e. in MDI mode this works well. See bugs filed against this problem to the jdk team at java.sun.com: 4530245, 4470374.
SOLUTION: Upgrade Sawfish window manager to version 1.0.1. Upgrading will completely solve this problem. I am using Netbeans 3.3, JVM 1.4.0-RC and Red Hat 7.2 w/ Ximian GNOME. You can pull Sawfish packages and dependencies for RH 7.2 from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/linux/rawhide. In Debian, a 1.0.1 binary is available in Sid. Note, if you're using Ximian GNOME on RH 7.2, it appears safe to replace Ximian's Sawfish packages with Red Hat's Rawhide RPMs.
