This could be a basic bug in JDK, but invisibile dialogs
frequently are caused by simple sizing bug in your dialog
instance. Check to make sure they have a reasonable
minimum size -- the relationship to the resizability attribute
might only be an artifact where the size is changed by
the frame placed around the dialog by the window
manager, not a bug per se.
In Solaris, typing CTRL-SHIFT-F1 in an AWT window will
dump the entire tree of AWT elements for the current process.
Note especially objects marked as invalid, since that can
cause layout problems. If this was ported, it could be useful.
(I have dead hardware at home, so I don't even have java on
linux yet.)
If that doesn't work, one low-rent version of debugging this
problem is to override getPreferredSize() or doLayout() or
whatever so that you can see when/if these methods are being
called for your object.
