hi,

in 1.1, untrusted applets can pop up a Frame, but it will
have a warning banner which says, "Warning: Applet Window".
signed and trusted applets can pop up a Frame without a
warning banner.

in 1.2, any applet can pop up the Frame with the same warning banner.
if you don't want the banner, the person running the applet has
to give it the following permission:

java.awt.AWTPermission "showWindowWithoutWarningBanner"

thanks,
charlie
