[josm-dev] Focusing and keyboard shortcut issues under Xnest

I run josm under Xnest because I'm using stumpwm and exporting
AWT_TOOLKIT as suggested on the wiki doesn't work[1]:

    Xnest :1 -ac -geometry 1400x1050
    DISPLAY=:1 java -Xmx512M -jar ~/src/josm-latest.jar

I have difficulty using the keyboard shortcuts under this setup,
sometimes the "z", "a" and "s" keys will work to select the zoom, add
and select tools and sometimes they won't, and after I've just created
a way Alt+a will bring up the tag window but if I do so a second time
nothing happens, until I click an area near the "Add" button which
seems to make it work again.

Other times when I start JOSM no keyboard shortcut works at all and no
clicking around the application will fix it and neither will
restarting it. Then I'll start it again and again it works seemingly
by random magic.
