When running Sun's JDK1.3 on Windows ME, the toFront() method of the Window
class doesn't consistently bring a window to the front; instead, it seems to
affect only the taskbar. I tested it with the following code, which runs
successfully on Windows NT4 using IBM's JDK1.1.8.

import java.awt.*;

public class Dumb
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    Frame f;
    int i;

    try
    {
      while(true)
      {
        Thread.sleep(20000);
        f = new Frame();
        f.setSize(600,400);
        for(i=10; i>0; i--)
        {
          f.show();
          f.toFront();
          try {Thread.sleep(1000);} catch(InterruptedException Ie){;}
        }
        f.dispose();
      }
    }
    catch(InterruptedException ie){;}
  }
}
