My understanding is that if you use NSDocument, this is handled correctly for you. Are you using NSDocument to manage your documents? If you don't, you should read the documentation for this method and proceed accordingly....

I'm finding that the AppKit is not honoring the Human Interface guidelines about how to handle untitled documents when swapping from background to foreground.

My understanding of the human interface guidelines is that when an App switches to the foreground, *some* sort of document needs to open. If there is already a document, that's fine - it should come to the foreground. If there is not already a document, either a minimized one should de-minimize (what's the right term here?), or a new "Untitled" document should open.

I would expect the AppKit to just handle this correctly for multiple-document applications, but it's certainly not doing it for me.

What's the story here? Is my expectation just wrong? Do I have a configuration problem? I'm sure I can figure out how to do this myself, but it seems like AppKit should handle this itself...
