So I guess it is really a fault in Carbon's understanding of
kAXMainAttribute. My understanding (and Cocoa's by the look of it) is that
only windows which can be considered the 'centre of attention' can be Main.
i.e. Palettes, dialogs etc cannot be Main, even though they can be brought
to the front.
As it turns out, most of the time the only things that should really be able
to be Main also happen to be minimizable (once you workaround carbon saying
everything is minimizable too :) )
