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.
