In cases like this, I launch another app in the background
Why? I'm not talking about a demon, but a full featured application
with GUI. It just doesn't show up in the dock and has no application
menu.
Ok, kinda weird though. I notice that the newest EPSON scanner software
does something like this. It seems quite alien.
Instead it might use a statusItem with attached menu. That way the
user may choose to open a new window, without the app being active -
and under that circumstances the application will not automatically
activate when you just send makeKeyAndOrderFront: to the window.
I see. In your case, the new window is user initiated so it's ok to pop
the app to the front. But in the case of alerts that aren't a response
to a user action, the objection remains.
