Applet lifecycle shutdown sequences is not consistent on Internet Explorer.

1) Install JRE
2) Invoke IE browser
3) Go to the following Test case
   http://j2se.east/%7Ezg131198/lifecycle_test/index.html
4) switch the pages, or even open new browser windows from menu. 

Expected Behavior
-----------------
Only when all browser windows of the browser instance has been closed, "Destroy" Java dialog will popup. 

Current behavior
----------------
1.) Expected Behavior is not consistent on IE browser
2.) When switched between the pages using Browsers Back/Forward button causes IE to hang 
3.)Any dialogs / windows popped up in the applets destroy method are hidden in the background and are not shown to the user for his response, which could cause confusion as browser is hanging. 

Note : It works fine with NS browsers

N/A

The problem is deadlock.

We are de-committing this for hopper-beta and committing this to Mantis.
We will have to document the restriction against GUI components displayed
from the stop() or destroy() methods.

The putback mainly fixed legacy lifecycle inconsistent problem. When there is a  legacy lifecycle applet on the latest instance of the browser, during the shutdown, it could hang the browser.

There are still problems related to page switch with normal and legacy life cycle applets. The problem will be further addressed with 4678577.
