I have this "problem" under Windows.  I open a modal JDialog subclass from
the menu of my frame window.

Now if I switch to some other task on the Windows task bar  and then return
to my app by clicking it in the task bar, I see only the frame window.  I
have to manually locate the dialog by closing the windows of other tasks.

I thought I could get the dialog to  stick to the frame by setting the frame
as the parent of the dialog.  But it doesnt seem to work.  I also notice
that the JBuilder IDE itself doesn't have this problem:  their dialogs
"adhere" to the frame window.

Can someone help me with the details on how this effect is achieved?

TIA
