We have a button that brings up a dialog box.
When we dismiss the dialog box and right away click on
anywhere in the window (except the original button), the
same button action event is sent. Therefore, it brings up
the same dialog box again.

If you would take this sample program to test,
first you click on 'click' button. It brings up
a dialog box with message "Testing Action Event" and an 'ok' button.
Click on OK to dismiss the dialog. Right away, left mouse click
in main frame. You would see click button being highlighted
and the same dialog box appears again.

This is compiled with /usr/dist/share/java,v1.1.5
and /usr/dist/share/irdk,v1.0/1.1/swingall.jar.
