I agree it's misleading in the use of the term parent, though that
fits the activities and concepts when using the designer.  It would be
more accurate to say that a Dialog requires a Frame object to be
constructed and that the requirement of an argument in the constructor
is what makes a Dialog not a bean.

I'll but in a sugg for clarification.
