  When there's a behavior triggered by an onload event, JWL
  cancels all other onload events (including dialogs with
  initiallyShow="true"). I changed the onload behavior to be
  onclick for and invisible button, then simulated a button
  click using Dojo's addOnLoad facility.

  This is now fixed in RAM v7.5.2.
