modal dialog disappears?

Sometimes when I'm running my program a modal dialog that's smaller than
my main frame gets "lost" behind that frame.  When this happens, I can't
move the frame to see the dialog because the frames' disabled.  I've
found that the only way I can get the dialog again is to cover the
entire screen up with another program and then minimize that program.
The dialog then appears on top again.

You can reproduce this on Windows by running a program with a modal
dialog.  When the modal dialog is up, cover the progam with another
program, go to Task Manager, and switch to your java program.  The frame
will appear, but not the dialog.  (This isn't the only way for the
problem to occur, but it's an easy thing to reproduce).

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks.

Alex
