Re: Second newbie attempt to get help with applet child window problems under Jaguar.

My first guess would be that you put something into the
windowDeactivated(WindowEvent) method in your TestFrame to force the main
window to the front whenever it loses focus. My guess would be that this
actually works in OSX Internet Explorer (which is a surprise) and it just
doesn't work everywhere else.
