This occurs on WinNT351 built as a application.

Run the following in jdb. After the two windows open, close 
them. The JVM doesn't shut down even though there is no 
interesting activity happening. A check of the threads shows the 
following;

threads
Group test1.main:
1. <java.awt.EventDispatcher>... AWT-EventQueue-0   cond. waiting
2. <java.lang.Thread>... AWT-Windows   running
3. <sun.awt.ScreenUpdater>... Scrren Updater   cond. waiting

The AWT-Windows thread should close when there are no 
windows left. Either the dispose isn't sending the cleanup
message properly or AWT-Windows just isn't cleaning up. You 
shouldn't have to use System.exit(0) just because you created 
a window. In complex systems this would be tricky.

import java.awt.event.*;

public class test1 extends Object
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		Frame testframe;

		testframe = new Frame("Test1");
		testframe.addWindowListener(new WindowEventDispatcher(testframe));
		testframe.setVisible(true);

		testframe = new Frame("Test2");
		testframe.addWindowListener(new WindowEventDispatcher(testframe));
		testframe.setVisible(true);
	}
}

class WindowEventDispatcher extends WindowAdapter
{
	Frame thetestframe;

	WindowEventDispatcher (Frame atestframe)
	{
		thetestframe = atestframe;
	}

	public void windowClosing(WindowEvent aWindowEvent)
	{
		System.out.println("WindowClosing event");
		thetestframe.setVisible(false);
//		thetestframe.removeWindowListener(this);
		thetestframe.dispose();
		thetestframe = null;
	}
}
