Thanks, that was very insightful!

No worries..

It doesn't seem to work unless the JFrame is visible and my whole point
of using a JWindow is not no frame is visible and that there's nothing
on the taskbar.

How can *that* be accomplisher?

Well.. fussy, fussy..

<sscce>
import javax.swing.*;

public class EditableTextFieldTest {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    JTextField tf1 = new JTextField("Frame", 20);
    JTextField tf2 = new JTextField("Owned Window", 20);
    JTextField tf3 = new JTextField("Free Window", 20);

    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.getContentPane().add( tf1 );
    f.pack();
    f.setLocation(-100,-100);
    f.setVisible(true);

    JWindow wO = new JWindow(f);

    wO.getContentPane().add( tf2 );
    wO.pack();
    wO.setLocation(100,100);
    wO.setVisible(true);

    JWindow wF = new JWindow();

    wF.getContentPane().add( tf3 );
    wF.pack();
    wF.setLocation(150,150);
    wF.setVisible(true);
  }
}
