Application 'flashes' between dialogs

I have written an application that has a main window, menu etc and a series of
dialogs that get called in sequence to populate some data.

My problem is that when I dismiss any dialog - either with dispose() or hide() -
to move to the next one, another application running on my desktop is activated
briefly before the new dialog shows. In the Jbuilder environment it is usually
the console window of the JVM but if I run with JREW then it is another
application.

I am using a JFrame for the main window and menus but each of the dialogs is
inherited from Dialog. I know I should not mix but I've not yet re-written all
my dialogs using swing and need to stop this problem in the current setup. I'm
using JDK 1.1.7B.

Hope you can help,

Steve.
