        Modality is completely broken for all native Dialogs on vista 5840. but works fine on vista 5734. Actually parent should be blocked by the child dialog (parent should be inactive), but here child goes behind the parent & allows the user to interact with some components on the parent such as scrolling a text area, selecting an item from the list and clicking on the menuitems (when dialog is active). Even windowEvents are also triggered.

        This behavior is seen with the following dialogs -
        1. FileDialog
        2. Native PrintDialog
        3. Native PageDialog

        Step to reproduce:
        ------------------
        1) Run the attached programe.
        2) Type some characters into the textarea, so that you can see both the scrollbars.
        3) Select "Open FileDialog" button, you can see a file dialog is open. Click on the parent(Frame) . Observe that filedialog goes behind parent.
        4) click on the textarea scrollbar so that you can see the charactes on the textarea scrolling.
        5) Click on the "File" Menu. you can see some of the MenuItems & allow us to select some of the menuitem.
        6) Click on "Open Dialog", you can see a dialog,
        7) Click on the parent, Observe that parent (frame) is inactive.

        I tested this on Mustang b103. This behavior is not reproducible with WinXP with the latest mustang build. Also not reproducible with dialogs created through 'java.awt.Dialog' constructors. This behavior is seen with APPLICATION as well as TOOLKIT MODALITY.
