Hi,
I am using a tiling wm (musca). I installed maple and at first had the problem, that maple would show only a grey window.
Using wmname and
wmname LG3D
I resolved the problem. Now the problem is, that the worksheets wont accept my keyboard input.
Mouse/menus work. All dialogs also work with keyboard input.
If I open a new worksheet, input works. But as soon as I switch worksheet it does not work anymore.
Anyone an Idea what I could do?
Thanks!
PS: I already tried sun jre (from pacman) and openjdk6 by changing the maple startup file. It's always the same

After a reinstall with it's dependency? ArchLinux can change from day to day a lot

Hey,
Are you suggesting I reinstall?
it works under other windowmanagers. So I guess reinstalling is little chances of success ..

Has anybody found a solution to this?
Everything works with my Maple 12, except that when you switch to some other program and back, keyboard input doesn't work until you mouse-click on some menu (or similar). It's bearable, but not very convenient.

Have you tried add this line to /etc/profile (logout -> login):
export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
But i think it is problem with some tiling window managers.
Floating window manager would be a better solution.

Depending in your window manager you may have the option to add a floating workspace. Try working there. If that doesn't solve the problem you can try runing an aditional floating window manager inside a Xnest or a Xephyr session. This has worked for me for some other problematic applications. For example try:
Xephyr -ac -br -host-cursor -noreset -screen 1280x800 :1 &
sleep 3
twm -display :1
this will initiate a new X session inside yours, which will be managed by twm. There you can run a terminal and of course maple. Maybe is a sub optimal workaround, but is the only alternative I have found.
(Note that Xephyr is found in xorg-server-xephyr package and twm, well in xorg-twm )

I guess it's a musca problem! This wm isn't maintained atm and this seems to be one of the many problems you run into when you use it.

I use xmonad. I had this problem on Linux Mint as well, and solved it by playing around with SCIM, I don't really remember what I did. I have no idea what the corresponding thing would be on Arch, or if it even has a similar cause.
I tried making the window float. It solves the problem.
Olvar, thanks a thousand.

Please dont resurrect an old thread. You can create a new thread and link to the old one if you feel its relevant. A lot can change in a year that this thread has been idle.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
