While switching focus between java frames, WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS, WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS, WINDOW_ACTIVATED, and WINDOW_DEACTIVATED events are generated as expected. However, getOppositeWindow() method is always returning null.

- This is occuring on Solaris 2.7, Solaris IA 2.7, and Linux platforms. This bug does not occur on Win98.

- The bug occurs with either AWT Frame or Swing JFrame.

- Tested with build jdk1.4 Build 40

Steps to reproduce:

1) Compile and run attached sample code "AwtOppositeWindow.java"

2) After GUI comes up, just click back and forth on each window and observe the window focus events generated.
