Alex, why don't you do the test that I just mentioned and see for
yourself that IT IS NOT FIXED. I don't know who confirmed that it was
fixed, but if you do what I told you, you will see that in fact it is
not well fixed. Windows seem to close, but they remain hidden somewhere,
and you can confirm it by the system telling you that you can't open new
windows because there are already 2 open....

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
Sun Java 6.0 Plugin
