Each window's windowClosing event handler should ask which window
is the source of the event.  If not "this" window, ignore the event
by not hiding the window.  

It should go something like this:

  public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
    if ( e.getSource() == this )
      this.setVisible(false);
  }

[I don't have the PC on so the above is from memory, but it's
close to what you want.]
