It has been noticed that while non-focusable Windows in Java might not
steal focus from Java Windows of the same application, they usually do
steal focus from Windows of other applications on the desktop. We should
investigate if it is possible to implement non-focusable windows that
are non-focusable for the desktop.

Example of this behavior is the one that is provied by Win32 API flags
WS_EX_NOACTIVATE.
======================================================================

EVALUATION The suggested fix is for Win2K ang greater. New CR for Win9x has been filed - 6371856.
