OPERATING SYSTEM(S):
Graphical Client:
  MS Windows 2000
  Cygwin/X version 4.3.0.67

Java environment:
  SuSE SLES8 for IA32 and RedHat RHAS3 for IA32 with Japanese environment.

FULL JDK VERSION(S):
java version "1.4.2_03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_03-b02, mixed mode)


InputMethod status shows at wrong location on Cygwin X-Window.
We are using Cygwin X-Window on MS-Windows as graphical client, and
it displays a Java application which is running on Linux via X protocol.

1. Launch Cygwin environment on MS Windows, and start X-Window.
    $ startx

2. Allow any graphical connection.
    $ xhost +

3. telnet to Linux system.

4. Set environmental values on Linux.
    $ export DISPLAY=<Cygwin/X system>:0
    $ export XMODIFIERS=@im=kinput2

5. Launch kinput2 on Linux
    $ kinput2 -xim -canna &

6. Compile and run the sample code, JTextAreaTest.
  
7. Turn on kinput2 by pressing Shift+Space key.
=> IM status window shows at far from JTextAreaTest's window.
    It should appears just below the Java window.

====== JTextAreaTest.java ======================================
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class JTextAreaTest extends JTextArea {
        public JTextAreaTest() {
                super();
        }
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Swing JTextArea component");
                frame.getContentPane().add(new JTextAreaTest());
                frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                        public void windowClosing(WindowEvent event) {
                                System.exit(0);
                        }
                });
                frame.setSize(300, 300);
                frame.show();
        }
}
============================================================

- Additional Information
Cygwin/X environment doesn't have WindowManager window between
Java's toplevel and rootwindow. That means a parent window of toplevel
is rootwindow. It may cause of the problem.
