I assume that it is this way to allow for click-thrus, so if your app has
more than one window open, a user could click on a window that wasn't
previously main, and make it so.

If you know that you will only every have one main window, you could
remember it when -applicationDidResignActive: is called.

Otherwise you may be able to call a handler method with
performSelectr:afterDelay:.
