No, the point is that you shouldn't check at all. Put up the window to the user that opened the app. It won't appear in other user's UIs, because they have their own 'partition' of the UI.

Llama,

You are EXACTLY right. However, in order for my app to make that decision,
it needs to determine that she (and not you) is currently using the Mac and
therefore not interrupt her. That is exactly the API I'm looking for.
Without that information, you both look like the same user. If she logs you
out and then logs herself in it's not a problem. However, if she leaves you
logged in and fast switches to her account then I can't tell the difference
between the 2 different users... Hence the gist of of question.
