Disabler was a 20% alpha black image that went over the root box.  Darkened 
everything.

That's an XWT problem with instantiation.   Depending on the speed of the 
computer and whether you were running the java, linux or windows vesion, 
the login box would appear under the main window, even though the main 
window HAD to have been instantiated first.  I don't pretend to understand 
it.

That would help.  I'd just take the disabler code and instead of being a 20% 
alpha black box, put the login widget there..  Hell use login.xwt from 
com/benshaw and have that box absolute and appear over the main one and it 
should work for you, I think.
