Spurios dialog flicker when opening and closing.

There is a bug in JDK 1.1.8ea which didn't exist
in JDK 1.1.7.

Symptom:
When opening and closing a dialog (appearing and
disappearing) at a location set to anywhere on
the screen, the/a dialog appears at the upper left
corner (0,0) on the screen for a very short moment
(it seems that only the native border is painted)
resulting in remarkable flicker for the user
(This effect happens with modal dialogs for sure,
maybe also with nonmodal dialogs;
it seems to manifest better on slower systems
and when open the dialog the first time [1]).

Test case:
Run the SwingSet demo of Swing 1.1 under JDK 1.1.8ea
and open and close the FileChooser dialog; when
appearing and disappearing that dialog the symptom
described above manifests. Repeat this procedure
including RESTARTING THE DEMO because of [1].
