I am still not sure what the question is, but note that
if you can find your way back to the 'root' JFrame/JWindow 
etc., you can use that as the owner of the JDialog.

Methods that might help with this are possibly..*
JComponent.getRootPane(), or a loop that
asks for the Component.getParent() until getParent()
returns 'null' (that Component will be the JFrame
or JWindow).

* ..and I am sure there is a method that actually 
returns the JFrame/JWindow directly, but I cannot 
recall what it is, at this moment.
