frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null) gives strange result

[Hendrik Maryns]

Hi all

Reading up on Swing. From
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/frame.html
‘How to Make Frames (Main Windows)’:

==
This example does not set the frame location, but it is easy to do so
using either the setLocationRelativeTo or setLocation method. For
example, the following code centers a frame onscreen:

frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
==

If I set this on my app, the window appears towards the lower right
corner of my screen. Is the jvm’s implementation broken?

I am on openSUSE 10.3, with 4 desktops. It is however the same on each
of the 4, both from the command line and from Eclipse.

I guess I’ll have to file a bug here?

Ok, forget it, you have to set the size first, then it works.

Should have read that page to the end…
