Can you be more specific?  What sort of "messy remnants" are left?

If the problem is that the portion of your window that was obscured by 
the dialog should have changed just as the dialog was being opened, then 
this is a known bug in Swing.

I typically see this when a menu item causes a dialog to open, and the 
dialog partially covers the open menu items.  When you dismiss the 
dialog, the remnants of the menu get repainted from Swing's paint buffer.

I created a work-around for it, so if this is your problem, let me know 
and I will post the work-around.
