I have code which does trap this. It runs as part of a PC based 
installation program where we don't want to show the user any other 
windows besides our installer. I believe that what you need to do is wrap 
this code in a try/catch statement, and look for two exceptions. Either 
the AS400SecurityException or the java.IO.IOException will be thrown if 
the AS400 constructor or validateSignon has a problem. Then you can handle 
the signon yourself without IBM's very annoying pop-up. But you also need 
to check the return status from the validateSignon. I know you are 
returning this, but is this inside a boolean method?
