nag screens and Spaces



I have a typical nag screen in my shareware application that tells an unregistered user how much time they have left in their demo period and begs them to buy my software. This is an application modal window.

If a user launches my app and gets the nag screen, then switches to another space, some strange things happen. First, clicking my application's icon in the dock does not switch the user to the space for my application. The menu bar shows my application's items but no windows. After doing this a switch back to the first space will not show my application's window, either. It has disappeared completely and, since the application is showing an application modal window, none of my menu items work (including Quit). The user must force quit my app.

I have verified this same behavior in several other shareware apps that show app modal nag screens. I have looked at the setCollectionBehavior: method of NSWindow, but none of the behaviors seem appropriate in this situation. Is there something else I should look at or should I file a bug?

thanks,
Todd Ransom
