I seem to only have this problem using the default or other Metal-based 
PLAFs and using JFrame decorations:

    JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);

Not using JFrame decorations or switching to the Windows or Motif look 
and feel should prevent the taskbar hiding.  Note that setting the look 
and feel decorations to false for a particular instance of a JFrame 
won't solve the problem.

    JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(false);
    // maximize still hides taskbar


If you aren't using decorations, then I have no idea what your problem 
may be.

For reference, my setup:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (SP2)

java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_05-b04, mixed mode)

Hope this helps,
David Browne
