Disabled components are not expected to respond to any of the user inputs. But a disabled frame triggers a key event when a key is pressed. I have added a KeyEventDispatcher and KeyEventPostProcessor to the default KFM. The dispatcher receives the keyevent as soon as a key is pressed.

This is noticed only on WinXP platform on all releases since 1.4. This is not reproducible on Solaris / Linux with Motif / XToolkit (No events are triggered and dispatcher is not called).

I have attached a sample test. Execute the sample test. A frame will be shown. Press some keys. If you see some keyevents in the console, the bug is reproduced.
