    Description

      Since there is no other API that we can call to deiconify a Frame, Window.toFront() seems to be the best fit. Component.show() is not as good a fit since it is called to operate on all components, rather than just top-level windows.

      So in order to make deiconify work, Window.toFront() needs to check to see if the window is iconified. If it is, then go ahead and deiconify it.

      I have a fix for this in src/win32/sun/windows/awt_Window.cpp by adding the following lines to the end of the sun_awt_windows_WWindowPeer_toFront() method:

          if (::IsIconic(w->GetHWnd()))
              ::ShowWindow(w->GetHWnd(), SW_RESTORE);

      I tested this fix and it works. I am in Devpro and would be happy to putback this fix thru the devpro vmgate. Please let me know. Thanks.

      I don't have a fix for its counter part on Solaris. Please fix it on Solaris too.
