[enhancement] dialog Z position

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Problem:

In eHOST, there are a lot of dialogs need to be poped up, such as "dialog of 
system setting", "dialog of attribute editor". Unfortunately, these poped 
dialogs aren't the MODAL dialogs and they may block dialogs of other 
applications on user's screen on the old version. 

So our purpose / requirement is :

Find a solution that can make the JAVA component of JFrame works like the MODAL 
DIALOG, which always in front of previous dialog and has correct Z position 
compared to other applications.

A few methods have been verified. And one method is selected to solve this 
problem that the standard Jframe can be modified to monitoring  Z sequence 
changes and do corresponding operation.

This method is tested with the dialog of system setting.
Currently it works well.
Need more test.
