Description
http://java.net/jira/browse/MACOSX_PORT-389 submitted 2011/09/12 by Yuri Nesterenko
Failing code displays an application modal FileDialog (with a null frame owner). It should stay on top of a Window when setVisible(true) in called on the Window. 
The same exception we have for Toolkit modal FileDialog in similar circumstances etc.

Comments
I guess the fix for jdk 7 is incorrect. I don't understand why we shouldn't accept FiledDialog as a blocker.

In LWWindowPeer.setModalBlocked(Dialog, boolean) method we falsely assume that all the dialogs have peer that is extension of the LWWindowPeer which is not true for FileDialog and couple of other dialogs. Adding an instanceof check before assigning sounds like a good idea. After the check is added all tests pass.
