I have written a program that utilizes the Accessibility API to get a list
of an application9s window, and then change which window is the current
front window by setting the window9s kAXMainAttribute to kCFBooleanTrue.
This technique works in all Cocoa applications, but does not work in any
Carbon applications. I'm suspecting this is because the Accessibility API is
still "young". However, are there any work arounds I can use *now* to be
able to change the current front window in Carbon applications?

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way to change the front window in Carbon apps using Accessibility. This is certainly because this is just the first pass at the Accessibility implementation and we don't know all of the things that developers will need. Please file bugs.
