How do I find all of the components my Swing app currently has? 
The problem occurs when the app has created unparented dialogs.

From any Component I can work up the tree by calling getParent() until 
I reach null, then use the last non-null one as the trunk of the component tree,
which should be a Container.
Recursively calling getComponents() for all Conatiners fills in the tree.

But if the app creates any unparented dialogs, the parent of those dialogs is
a SwingUtilities.SharedOwnerFrame which does not show up in the list components of the root window. And even if it did, calling getComponents() on the
SharedOwnerFrame always returns empty.
