Since upgrading to Fedora 10 I cannot use tiny time tracker. It launches OK but the focus stays on the ttt window (with the task name and timer) so I cannot do anything else on that desktop.
I run the .jnlp file using Netx (http://jnlp.sourceforge.net/netx/) which is a change from before fedora 10 but I don't see how to configure anything. I've also tried downloading the .jar files and running using java -jar but this simply doesn't launch anything.
Clearly, I don't know much about java apps so I can't think of what info to give to sort this issue but if you think you can help I'll be more than happy to try all suggested solutions and to attempt to provide a better description of the issue.
Thanks

One of my TTT users suggests the following in response to the question:
I wonder if they're using the Open-Java that comes with Fedora.
I have had lots of issues with the OpenJava. I always just delete the links to it and replace it with Sun's implementation.
This user uses TTT with Fedora 8 but hasn't tried it on a later version.

I'm experiencing the same thing.
I have used TTT on a 32bit WinXP Pro SP3 for a long time (and I love the simplicity of it - never ever change that!).
I recently moved to a 64bit machine running ubuntu v11.04
I have installed Suns Java jre 7, trying to invoke TTT with javaws v. 10.0.0.147-fcs
It starts allright, and the field for tasknames works, but where the timer should be, there is a string "java.awt.peer.WindowPeer.updateAlwaysOnTop()", and as the rest in here it steals focus, effectively disabling the keyboard :-(
The timer seems to work ok behind the scene, since the spreadsheet shows increasing numbers.

Maybe a quick fix could be to let us have the option to run it not allwaysOnTop? It seems to me that it is the allwaysOnTop that works a bit too aggressively, stealing the focus from all other applications.
I could easily live with it not being on top allways, and also not showing the timer correctly - but killing the keyboard for all other applications is really a showstopper. :-(

Having TTT steal window focus is still a very annoying behaviour. However, what I've done to work around it is to run ttt on workspace 2. I don't run any other programs in that workspace. When I need to make an update in ttt, I simply switch to that workspace and then switch back after I make the change.
I still would prefer a proper fix, but this works for now.

I am seeing the same symptom in ubuntu 9.10 with their default java
Unfortunately I do not have ubuntu or fedora to create a fix for this. Andrew, you're welcome to take this one if you wish.
