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.
