Anyway, there is still the problem of having additional frames when in full screen mode even though the problem might arise from other causes as well. The effects might not be noticeable on all systems ... as there is an automatic fallback to using a maximized undecorated window when full screen mode is unavailable. Another problem with using JDialog is that they don't mix well with JInternalFrame. Layering, focus etc is handled by the windowing system for the former, while JDesktopPane handles it for the latter. That's why the ChooseFoundingFatherDialog is always in front of the Colopedia help panel you get when clicking the "help" button, for example. Considering the other problems with dialogs appearing behind each other: It should be possible just to grab the panel that is blocking the other, and click on the panel behind. Unless you are clicking on a component (or there are additional JPanels intercepting the mouse click), this should make the panel you click appear in front. Isn't this working? If there are dialogs appearing behind another dialog, then the likely cause is the panel in front getting a requestFocus call ... as this will also place the window in front. Perhaps this is the problem in the non-JDialog-related cases?
