JDK-6445278 - JDialog.setIconImage(s)() doesn't properly set the alt-tab icon on WinXP
Description
There is a Swing Manual Test Swing_JWindow/Manual/JDialogLAFTests/DialogLAFTest4.
In it's 4th scenario there is a check that custom item could be set for JDialog.

However there's no icon for JDialoh in alt-tab list at all.

There is a related bug 6445278 (with code example) stating that issue is Windows specific. It's indeed not reproducible on Ubuntu for SE Java. But it's there for embedded java.

Platform: linux-i586

EVALUATION The risk to broke something overweighs the bug significance it's better to keep it as is, furthermore it was fixed in jdk7.
