Description
In the following cases, the focus is always back to the incorrect window so
it forces user to do the extra action to click back to the right window.

On Java tab in Preferences:
 - when closing Open dialog from Choose button
 - when closing JRE Finder from Find button

On Advanced tab in Preference:
 - when closing Open dialog from Choose Log File Name

On Root Certificates tab in Preferences:
 - when closing Open dialog from Import button

Evaluation
It is not the focus that is not what is expected, but the active window.
This behavior has very litle to do with Java Web Start.  We just create a
JFileChooser, Swing or the OS decide where activation goes when it's dismissed.

Problem is only on windows.

I can fix the problem by changing the PrefsPanel to become a modal dialog.  Then the preferences panel becomes active after closing the filechooser in both windows and solaris.

But do we want the PrefsPanel to become modal?

I also contacted the AWT focus team for comments on this problem.
