Follow up on this issue:

I have a main-window that has a button to show all details for a 
selected item in a list.

The window is defined as: public class ViewDetails extends JDialog {

The constructor opens this as modal=true;

While testing I had the ViewDetails opened over the main-window when I 
selected to clear the desktop (i.e. no windows open). I then clicked in 
the bottom toolbar to swap back to application and here is where the 
problem occurred:

The process came back but the main-window was in front of the ViewDetail 
window (that is smaller than the main-window). Since it was running in 
modal, I could not move the main-window or get to the ViewDetail in any 
way.

The way I got around this was to open another window (my browser) and 
then the VIewDetail was put in front of the main-window. I minimized the 
browser and could continue with my app.

Now, I can't write in the manual "if you can't see your window - open 
another application and the window will appear ..."

Anyone has a solution for this behavior?
