    Hi there,

    I am developing an application that has three JWindows that must
    always be displayed on the screen. One displays radar data and is
    permanently fixed in the background and covers the entire screen,
    while the other two are task bar type windows located across the top
    and bottom of the screen. The two task bar windows must always be
    displayed on top of the main radar window. Other JFrames and JDialogs
    may also be displayed over the top of the main radar window.

    Currently, when I click on the main radar window, the window is raised
    on top of all other windows, including the task bar windows. How can
    I prevent this behaviour? I would like the main radar window to
    ALWAYS stay at the back. I have investigated listening to the focus
    of the radar window and sending it to the back when focused, but this
    seems cumbersome. I'm sure there must be a simpler/more elegant
    solution.

    I do not wish to use the JDesktopPane (MDI) because I need my
    application to be full screen without title bars, and need to be able
    to move windows between multiple screens.

    adv[Thanks]ance
