I think I figured it out. I had "ColorChooser colorChooserDlg = new
ColorChooser( (Frame) SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(this));" in the
initialization section of my containor class. I moved it to the mouse
adapter class. Dont' really understand why unless I needed to call
colorChooserDlg.show() somewhere else.


        // "this" is a JPanel. The code is basically from the About box code
        ColorChooser colorChooserDlg = new ColorChooser( (Frame)
SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(this));
        Dimension dlgSize = colorChooserDlg.getPreferredSize();
        Dimension frmSize = getSize();
        Point loc = getLocation();
        colorChooserDlg.setLocation( (frmSize.width - dlgSize.width) / 2 +
loc.x,
                                    (frmSize.height - dlgSize.height) / 2 +
loc.y);
        colorChooserDlg.setModal(true);
        colorChooserDlg.pack();
        colorChooserDlg.show();
