 .SH CUSTOMIZATION
 dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
 code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.

-Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
-only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
-JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround
-you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you
-can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif
-backend instead):
-.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .

+.SH BUGS
+Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
+only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
+JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. Possible workarounds
+are using JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or setting the
+environment variable
+.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
+(to use the older Motif backend instead) or running
+.B xprop -root -f _NET_WM_NAME 32a -set _NET_WM_NAME LG3D
+or
+.B wmname LG3D
+(to pretend that a non-reparenting window manager is running that the
+XToolkit/XAWT backend can recognize) or when using OpenJDK setting the environment variable
+.BR _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 .
+.P
+GTK 2.10.9+ versions contain a broken
+.BR Save\-As
+file dialog implementation,
+which requests to reconfigure its window size in an endless loop. However, its
+window is still respondable during this state, so you can simply ignore the flicker
+until a new GTK version appears, which will fix this bug, approximately
+GTK 2.10.12+ versions.
