Well, I see java.awt.Window.toFront() and is inherited by JFrame,
JWindow, and JDialog, so perhaps you could try adding a windowListener
to the thing that forces it toFront() whenever it gets hidden.
That's where I'd start.  I don't know if that will bring the 
thing in front of unrelated apps, or not.  Probably depends upon
the platform.

Can't suggest anything here, I avoid applets in general.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried.  Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
