I have an issue with JDialog box in JDK1.5/JDK1.6 on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS/i686.
The text field in the dialogbox does not accept keyboard input, even
though i see the cursor blinking in the text field. The workaround is
to click on some other component in the dialog and back to textfield.

I tried to reproduce the problem in a sample application, but the
problem does not seem to occur. In my application also it does not
appear consistently.

Here is the code. I have created the same exact steps my app is using.
I will file a bug.
