Try on windows and solaris.

Install Java Web Start 1.2 - comes with J2SE 1.4.1

Start Java Web Start application manager.

click file->prefereces, which brings up the Java Web Start prefernces dialog
(non-modal).

choose root certificates tab.

click import, which brings up a JFileChooser, which parents to the Certificate
Panel, which is in the preferences dialog.

now click canel.

1. On Solaris, the preferences dialog becomes the active dialog again.

2. On Windows, the java web start application mananager becomes the active
dialog.

Why is there a difference of behaviour? the code is the same on both cases.
Shouldn't the preferences dialog becomes active in windows case too?

If I change the preferences dialog to modal instead, in both cases, the
preferences dialog becomes active again, which is what I expect.
