Hiding Application To System Tray will cause Modal dialog unblock

Question

I have a JFrame, when I minimize it, it will hide. The user can recall it back by simply double click on its icon, which is created in system tray during application initialization.
However, I am facing problem when I pop up a modal dialog box. (In Linux)
When I pop up a modal dialog box, I am expecting setVisible(true) will always being block, until the modal dialog box is closed.
However, in Linux, user is able to minimize the parent windows, even there is a modal dialog box. During minimization, I have to call JFrame.setVisible(false), in order to hide the application.
A side effect of calling setVisible(false) for a modal dialog box owner (JFrame), will cause the modal dialog box JDialog.setVisible(true) being unblocked and continue for the next statement.
How I can prevent this, to ensure the JDialog.setVisible is always blocked, until the JDialog is really closed? Thanks!

tnx Sarcommand ..i give up on that, i understand the risk if that feature is included..
all i wanted is to make an internet cafe client/server that blocks the client's pc interaction if log time is reached.blocking only the keyboard and mouse.
i have seen so many softwares sets the cursor position within the dialog bounding box only with user and password there. though my other application runs the mouse is still captured on the dialog even the dialog lost focus.
if that would not be possible I'll just send notification to the client, a dialog that does not block any application.
now, im going to try if the client can do som action whenever the server sends alert if the client java app is not the focus. i will post next time what hapens.but if you tried already, if u dont mind posting it so others could know it also..
tnx so much Sarcommand..
