It appears whenever a modal window is opened on Linux X-Windows the

the textbox.
This is not just for my modal forms but for something as fundamental
as JOptionPane or simple code like this:
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
if (chooser.showOpenDialog(parentComponent) ==
JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
}
From trolling through posts I can see no answers which is really sad
for Linux good for Microsoft I guess. How can we deploy on Linux if
you are forced to get carpal tunnel clicking on every form with the
mouse ?
I would be willing to pay some consulting dollars to get this
resolved.

Either you are not explaining your self adequately or you've got some odd problem. If I open a JFileChooser dialog on XP or Fedora 9 I can close it very easily with the escape key. On both, focus is returned to the frame that opened the dialog and I can continue to maneuver with the keyboard.
However, I am happy to consult. Please remit a large sum of cash and you will definitely get my full attention to your problem :-).
