<AWT Dev> RFR: 8221082 Unexpected working behavior when using AIX's dtwm/mwm

[Ichiroh Takiguchi]

Hello Sergey.

I appreciate your suggestion.

I could start talking with AIX GUI experts about this issue.
I'll let you know when the situation is changed.

Since CDE is the only desktop environment running on AIX platform,
please maintain the current support level of CDE / MWM.

Thanks,
