Everytime I use simple JFrame code from some tutorial, I see what’s in the window, but I have no minimize/close buttons. I’m SSH’ing into the school computer with XManager.

Examples:

[http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Swing-Tutorial/Swing-Tutorial-JFrame.html](http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Swing-Tutorial/Swing-Tutorial-JFrame.html)

Those tutorials promise things like:

But why do I only see the insides of the window with no chrome? And it’s always crammed to the upper left corner of my screen.
