Re: Closing a dialog via keyboard

The default key/action maps may have changed.  As I recall, ESCAPE is
typically bound to the Cancel key, not the close-widget, but I could be
wrong, since it's a while since I looked at it.

Print out the default action-maps and see if ESCAPE is bound to anything.
Or print it out on the version where it worked (or under the Metal PLAF),
and then add code to make sure it gets mapped on 1.4.2.

You might want to bind command-dot, too.  I use that for "Cancel" more
often than I use ESCAPE.

JDialog menubars always appear in-window on Mac OS X, because of
inheritance reasons and the implementation of screen-menubars.  I forget
where I read this, but it might be one of the release notes:
