miguelrojas, you are wrong. with openJDK it's possible to close the chat
window, but this will not close the active chat session. Your chat
partner is not able to see, that you left the private chat.

Most websites, which provide chat rooms based on volano chat software,
give a limit in privat chats you can participate at the same time.
during the fact, that you cannot close the chat sessions, you  will
reach sometime the limit. As a consequence you are not able to start
more private chats, because the software assumes you already talking to
"n" persons.

To conclude this, with OpenJDK it is only possible to "hide" the chat
windows.

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 3.5.9
Java: OpenJDK Java runtime
Sun Java 6.0 Plugin
