Yep. That's what I already did, and it worked. Thanks.

But as for AppKit being crippled - are you actually trying to tell me
that being able to type in - and therefore accidentally close or mess up
stuff in a window that you can't even see because some other window is
covering it up is a good thing?! If Mac OS X behaved like that, I think
my computer would have gone out my 5th story window a long time ago by
now...
