Is the dialog modal?

In the 1.4+ JVMs, when a modal dialog is up you can drag the other windows (parent or otherwise) around. They do not come forward in the Z-order. Older JVMs behaved like other Mac applications, you could only do this by CMD-clicking on the title bar of a window you want to drag around. That feature has been part of the Mac GUI since around System 7.5 (IIRC). FYI, it works for all window types at all times, not just when a modal dialog is up. I find it convenient when I want to move a lower window to unmask an even lower window, but not bring them all to the front. For some reason Apple saw fit to remove the requirement for the CMD key in 1.4.x.
