Jframe window wont come to front under linux - works ok in windows

Hi,

I have an application that opens a new Jframe.  If the user does a selected action a new tab is open in the same jframe window.

However when teh new tab is created the jframe will not come to the front of the screen when running under linux.  The window has focus - I can type into it and its highlighted in the taskbar but it will not come to the front automatically.

However it works ok when run in XP.

Any ideas?

Im using code similar to this:

 ownerFrame.toFront();  //ownerFrame is the JFrame

have also tried setting:

ownerFrame.alwaysOnTop(true) and then back to false but the problem persists.
