I understand your confusion. That particular overload of readObject() is not
especially clear. The class argument basically just identifies the name of the
resource bundle - it has nothing to do with Bindable.
Your BXML looks fine - to make the frame stay on top of the window, you just
need to open the frame with the window as its owner.
