No. windowForComponent just calls getWindowAncestor. And 
getWindowAncestor returns the *first* Window ancestor of a given 
component. Andrew's method returns the *last* Component ancestor (which 
might be a Window).

To get the root Window (or root Applet) of a component, 
SwingUtilities#getRoot may be used. To get the root Component of a 
component use Andrew's method. To get a component's window use 
windowForComponent (or getWindowAncestor).

Of course, there might be additional predefined methods - who knows? ;)
