Perhaps my newbie status is showing through a bit much and I'm not explaining things correctly. The end user of my application is on a Windows XP pc. They connect to our UNIX machines via XManager, which runs X applications. We use xterm (/usr/bin/X11/xterm).

I am wanting to display a form to the user that will allow them to select certain files and then do some validation. The files are on the UNIX file-system, which they are accessing via xterm. When I try to start a java program that uses Swing, as soon as it tries to display the JFrame (I've also tried with AWT Frames), all open XManager xterm windows are disabled and lose borders, buttons, etc.

I've researched and found bits and pieces of people grumbling about the same thing, but no solution. It may be that Swing/AWT is just not compatible with our interface with UNIX. But I don't know what else to try.

uxterm

uxterm(1)						      General Commands Manual							 uxterm(1)

NAME

       uxterm - X terminal emulator for Unicode (UTF-8) environments

SYNOPSIS

       uxterm [ xterm-options ]

DESCRIPTION

       uxterm  is  a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the latter program with the 'UXTerm' X resource class set.  All arguments to
       uxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class and -u8 options should not be specified because they are  used  by  the  wrapper.
       See the xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options.

       The  environment's  locale  settings (see "ENVIRONMENT" below) are used to discern the locale's character set.  If no current locale can be
       determined, the locale 'en_US' (the English language as used in the territory of the United States) is assumed.	The locale(1)  utility	is
       used to determine whether the system supports the selected locale.  If it does not, uxterm will exit with an error and report the output of
       locale.

       Note: uxterm may produce unexpected results if the current locale is set to one in which the UTF-8 character encoding is not supported,	or
       if  fonts  using  the ISO 10646-1 character set are not available.  In the Debian system, the 'xfonts-base' package provides the fonts that
       uxterm uses by default.	To change the fonts uxterm uses, edit the /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm file.

       A similar wrapper, koi8rxterm(1), is available for KOI8-R environments.

ENVIRONMENT

       LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
	      The values of these variables are checked, in order, to determine the character set used by the current locale.
