Nice. Classpath has it now too, so we can generally test it too
directly.

Depending on a specific window manager is stupid. It just makes the
hurdles for users of mauve higher. If we have problems with a
specific window manager and its his fault and not ours we should
report bugs.
If you refer to the wrong insets bug I see here, I made sure its a
jamvm/classpath bug, not a window manager bug. It only occurs in
jamvm/classpath and not in a 100% merged java-gui-branch. I will try
to investigate it more, no matter if I run kwin, windowmaker or
GNOME/metacity.
