/** DesktopManager objects are owned by a JDesktopPane object. They are responsible
  * for implementing L&F specific behaviors for the JDesktopPane. JInternalFrame
  * implementations should delegate specific behaviors to the DesktopManager. For
  * instance, if a JInternalFrame was asked to iconify, it should try:
  * <PRE>
  *    getDesktopPane().getDesktopManager().iconifyFrame(frame);
  * </PRE>
  * This delegation allows each L&amp;F to provide custom behaviors for desktop-specific
  * actions. (For example, how and where the internal frame's icon would appear.)
  * <p>This class provides a policy for the various JInternalFrame methods, it is not
  * meant to be called directly rather the various JInternalFrame methods will call
  * into the DesktopManager.</p>
