<AWT Dev> [9] Review request for 8159904: [TEST_BUG] Failure on solaris of java/awt/Window/MultiWindowApp/MultiWindowAppTest.java

[Phil Race]

The test ran fine on Solaris 10 with metacity.

I presume the problem is not that general. The test has a Frame which
owns a Dialog .. if the owned window can't be moved under the owner
window that is one thing but if it is true even for two Frames that would
be odd.

Is toFront implemented here using XRaiseWindow ?
Did the request definitely get forwarded to the window manager ?


I found the following but I am not sure if it is related ..
