It has not been fixed, not even in 10.04. Windows do close, but just
visually, because they remain open in the background. I have tested this
in www.elchat.com (spanish) , they allow you to open up to 2 private
conversations at the same time. When you close them, and want to open a
new one, they will say that you have already 2 conversations open....
in Windows it does not happen, so it is an specific bug for Linux Java
versions.........   so no, it has not been fixed.

Bug description:
Any implementation of Java (be it Sun's or the OpenJDK) suffers from this bug. Some Java Applet Windows cannot be closed when clicking on the close button (X) on the Window Manager title bar.

This bug only affects Linux distributions. On MS Windows, the Applets work normally and they can be closed at will as any other window.

Sites where this bug happens:
http://www.volano.com/
http://www.chat-avenue.com/
http://www.elchat.com
...and pretty much any Applets that do not have an explicit close function within themselves.

OS: Ubuntu Karmic Koala
Browser: Firefox 3.5.4
Java: OpenJDK Java runtime
