You can set its level to CGWindowLevelForKey(kCGDesktopWindowLevelKey), would that work?

I have an secret project that takes over the whole screen (hint: it's a desktop) and I want to open inter/intra-application windows over it. The user needs to be able to click on it and get contextual menus, but it should stay behind all other windows. The way I have it working right now is most likely not correct. I use the shielding window level get the display, then use it again to open other windows. It works except that when I click on the full screen window, my new window goes behind it.

Another problem: I want it to run completely separate from the Finder, so any applications that open from it don't show in the Finder and any applications in the Finder don't show in it.

I want it to run along side (and on top of) the Finder, not replace it. Any insights on things relevant would be great, especially if they are related to these problems.
