Xwindows/Motif app problem using Java Desktop on Solaris 10

in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) Question

We have Solaris 10.

We have an old app (from the mid-1990's) written in C, using XWindows/Motif.

When our users use CDE - the app will properly display an alert box ON TOP of the app.  User is able to click "OK" to cancel the alert, and continue.

Our users are (finally) gravitating towards Java Desktop (which is really GNOME, right?)

When our users use JDS - the app will display the alert box BEHIND the app.. and the alert box can never receive focus for the user to click "OK".  In the case, the only way to remove the alert is to close down the app itself.

Howdy, Stranger!
