Why does a Window need a Frame to attach itself to? This seems to make
the usage of pop-up windows and dialogs in applets awkward in that you
are forced to create and display a Frame with zero size before you can
use them. Perhaps applets should be able to access the window of the
program they are being run in? For instance an applet running in
Netscape call Applet.getFrame() in order to find out it's parent window.
Or is there perhaps already a mechanism for this, or some reasoning
behind the current design that I do not understand? Any help would be
appreciated.
