What I have found is that sometimes a script will put up a dialog box
but it is virtually impossible to bring it to the front. Clicking on
windows that are visible just brings the window to the front, not the
application. Sometimes clicking on the Finder icon in the dock will
do the trick.
But I have gone through the motions of restarting only to have the
dialog box pop on the screen just after all the other applications
have quit!
I haven't quite figured out why this happens, but it is possible that
this is in a case where I don't have an activate before the "display
dialog" or when some time elapses and the Finder may lose its status
as frontmost.
This brings up an interesting question ... why doesn't Display Dialog
do an implicit activate (at least as a default behaviour). When is it
useful to do "display dialog" for a non-foreground application (and
have it stay that way)?
