It's not the busiest of lists. Mostly developers working on compiz (and me!)

This is more of an Xgl problem than compiz. AFAIK Xgl has not got it's 
own dedicated ML but please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You may get better info from the Xorg ML.

I have numerous keyboard issues under Xgl but I'm too lazy to make them 
work properly.

The *.bin files are just text files which have been renamed to .bin by 
the mail server. You need to patch the source code before compilation. 
Use the "patch" command to do this - man patch or patch --help will give 
more info on this. If you are using pre-built packages, then you should 
ask the maintainer of these packages if they would incorporate these 
patches.

As an alternative temporary workaround, if you run:
   export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
before running your java apps, do they work for you?
