  • Thanks, setting the variable works but I've run on another issue. I can't set the variable from .xinitrc. These are the last two lines of my .xinitrc: export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 exec $1. It works if I set the variable in shell startup file Commented Jun 14, 2017 at 18:46
  • It should work in .xinitrc, but equally will work in your shell profile. Commented Jun 14, 2017 at 19:06
  • yes it should, but it doesn't. That's the problem, I can't export variables from .xinitrc Commented Jun 14, 2017 at 19:34
  • That is a separate issue. Just put it in your shell profile. Commented Jun 14, 2017 at 19:42
