[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1141191: arduino: User interface does not adjust to window size changes

I found that following the notes presented in
/usr/share/doc/arduino/README.Debian for non-reparenting window manager
users (i.e. “export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=true”) make the behavior I
mentioned disappear.

I would just ask, then, to make it a bit cleearer in the README: it
mentions that non-reparenting window manages “will only display empty gray
windows”; it does not match my experience (I got a non-resizing small text
window instead of using the full available space). But I think that just
adding this note would be enough to considering this bug dealt with.

Thank you!
