** Description changed:

  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:
