Desire is to have a second JFrame that when present is always on top.
This is accomplished by a WindowListener (Hang the whole system -
is this a feature ?)

  private class BasicWindowMonitor extends WindowAdapter {
        public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e) {
          Window window = e.getWindow();
          window.toFront();
          window.setVisible(true);
        }
  }

Now that toFront() always sets focus (new in RC1), you can never
focus the other JFrame's.

 public class BasicWindowMonitor extends WindowAdapter {

        public BasicWindowMonitor() {

                JFrame myFrame = new JFrame();
                myFrame.addWindowListener(this);
                myFrame.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
                myFrame.setBounds(50, 50, 200, 300);
                myFrame.setVisible(true);
        }

        public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e) {
          Window window = e.getWindow();
          window.toFront();
          window.setVisible(true);
        }

        public static void main(String args[]) {

                BasicWindowMonitor myMonitor = new BasicWindowMonitor();
        }
