You mean this:

   /* just to friggin make java happy - we're DELAYING the reparent
   until
    * eval time...
    */
/*   ecore_x_window_reparent(win, bd->client.shell_win, 0, 0); */
   bd->need_reparent = 1;

Hm, this is commented out, but maybe the bd->need_reparent = 1; does
exact the same.

Some days ago I noticed also a Java app that does really strange
things. After some time the combo boxes were opened somewhere else than
the window and mouse clicks were all some y pixels relative to the
click position. Really strange, not? I'm not sure if this was E
specific.
