Description
[CDATA[
		When starting a webstart application on a system behind a proxy with authentification, a pop-up dialog comes up asking for login and password.
This pop-up is *very* annoying for the following reasons:
 - sometimes (not always) is is hidden behind the "Checking last version" window, and cannot be seen
 - the user name field doesn't have the focus: it must be clicked upon to be used
 - it is not possible to switch fields using <tab> as usual, only the mouse can be used
 - it is not possible to validate using <enter>, the 'Yes' button must be clicked using the mouse cursor

Note:
this is with the JDK 1.5 FCS, no the EA version included in b69.  I upgraded it cleanly (removed old packages, cleaned up some dangling directories, installed new packages).

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)

EVALUATION As the bug states, this is only a problem on 1.5.0, not on mustang. This was fixed in mustang as part of 6205064, in which all the dialogs were replaced.
