   I am going to need some discussion about this. @JaroslavTulach  @mdindoffer. I have discovered that adding arbitrary parents to a dialog could result in the dialog vanishing if the parent dialog gets closed while the given dialog is open (such as when a temparary dialog like the one in `AbstractWindowRunner.createModalprogressDialog` or `o.n.modules.progress.ui.StatusLineComponent.showPopup`). This change wouldn't be needed if Java wasn't being stupid about Application Modal Dialogs not being on top of all other lesser windows in the given application.
   My current solution is to create an interface called `Leafable` with a method called `isLeaf` in Dialog API that windows that don't want to be a parent would implement, but that would result in a mess. Any other suggestions?
