Problems with FileDialog

Robert, The wording in the bug report is confusing, but means if a splash is displayed at program launch using the -splash param, either
in the app bundle launcher info.plist or from the command line.


The old fashion way of presenting a splash is the way we used to do this before this feature was introduced in Java 1.6 which was using a basic awt.Frame. This is the work around that I'm using for the Mac port. Windows, Linux & Solaris works as it should. Hope this saves you some time. Mike
