Actually, I do not use the Java client as an applet. In one case, I use 
it as a standalone application (running 'java -jar vncviewer.jar' which 
calls VNCViewer.main()). In the other, I create an instance of the 
VNCViewer class and call 'start()' on it.

I think these problems occur only in the case of a web hosted applet. 
What I do is ship the vncviewer.jar file as a library to my NB module 
and just open the applet in standalone mode from another class.

Could it possibly be a Thread concurency problem ? I.e another thread 
grabbing the keyboard input instead of the PasswordDialog ? I was 
thinking about recoding the whole thing using Swing instead of AWT.

Please help, this is a crucial point of my app... Thanks and regards,
