<AWT Dev> <Awt Dev> [9] Review Request for 8021961: setAlwaysOnTop doesn't behave correctly in Linux/Solaris under certain scenarios

[Semyon Sadetsky]

The fix is amended : plese review the new version 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ssadetsky/8021961/webrev.01/
It is taken into account that the transientFor chain may be longer and 
also the fact that visibility of the parent window may be changed after 
the setting the alwaysOnTop property value.
Sorry for possible inconveniences.
