focus issues going from 1.3.1 to 1.4.1?

[Stephen Hoskins]

I have a program where I'm using JFrames that pop up JDialogs that aren't
modal. I wasn't having this issue when I was in 1.3.1, but now that I'm in
1.4.1 the JDialogs are appearing behind the main JFrame when they pop up and
when I select them to the front they'll go back behind again after like the
first 10 seconds. But once I select it to the front again it doesn't do it
anymore. It's really weird. Has anyone ever seen this before?

Has anyone ever seen this before?

Do you "anchor" the JDialogs to the JFrames via the constructor
argument for that purpose? Are they modal?
