I see that a JDialog(Dialog owner) constructor was added in JDK1.2. However,
the support for Dialog owners of other Dialogs doesn't extend to
JOptionPane. JOptionPane supports Frame owners only. I'd like to see this
support extended to JOptionPane. Looks like the createDialog method needs to
be modified to also search for a Dialog in the parent hierarchy and to
create the option pane's dialog using the JDialog(Dialog) constructor if one
is found.
