Hi Pavel,
Thank you for your testing efforts!
It looks like the test does not actually belong in JDK 6, and should
fail there - please refer to the comment section in the very beginning
of the test source. [1] shows that the fix for which the test is
written, has been available since 7b03, and isn't present in 6 at all.
Since 7b20 included all the tests present in 7b03, the test got to
OpenJDK 6 as well [2]. Weird, I agree.
I doubt if we want to back-port [3] though (which is the actual fix for
[1]). Therefore, I think the test had better be removed from OpenJDK 6.

Hi,
regression test jawa/awt/Window/AlwaysOnTopEvenOfWindow regularly fails
on these platforms:
Fedora 10/11, RHEL 5.3
i386, x86_64
OpenJDK6
* Gnome as desktop environment *
It looks like that AWT Window constructed by calling new Window(null) is
always shown on top (at least on Gnome), regardless of other settings.
For example frame.setAlwaysOnTop(true) does not change order of top
level containers.
I'm not sure about Window constructed by new Window(null) correct
behaviour. That probably means that this Window does not have parent
container, but JavaDoc (only) says: "A window must have either a frame,
dialog, or another window defined as its owner when it's constructed."
When I change line 49 to Frame win = new Frame(); (Frame is constructed
instead of Window), test passes.
My question is: is this regression test written incorrectly or has
OpenJDK6 & Gnome bug in top level containers handling?
Thank you for your answers,
Pavel Tisnovsky
