<AWT Dev> [9] Review request for 8176528: Progress state for window is not displayed in taskbar

[Philip Race]

with this change maybe we should be renaming the parameters and update the doc
ie
279      * @param w window

could be
  @param f frame
?

Or is there precedent for what you have right now ?
