Answer 1

• Why must the login appear on the task bar, since the main app will be there, and you don't want more than one task bar item for an individual program. Your best option may be to use a modal JDialog.
• Another option is to use CardLayout to swap "views".
• A third option is to use a JFrame if you must but attach a listener to it, a WindowListener I believe, to respond to its close event.
• Regardless of which route you go, your login gui should be a JPanel so that you can place it anywhere you wish and then change your mind later.
