With Leopard, it's much easier to achieve a floating palette using:

	getRootPane().putClientProperty("Window.style", "small");
	setAlwaysOnTop(true);

In Apple's iApps that use an 'Inspector', the document (or target) window does not lose focus when the Inspector gains focus. Is there a workaround to imitate this behavior using Java?

Using setWindowFocusableState(false) is unacceptable b/c components requiring KeyboardInputFocus such as TextFields are non-functional, despite all other controls receiving and processing mouse events; it also reduces accessibility.
