No problem. Your message is a good reminder for regular applications,
so I'm glad it's stuck in the archive alongside my advice :)
I'm curious to know how Spotlight manages to take key focus without
changing the frontmost application. When you hit cmd-Space, key focus
changes to the spotlight search drop-down, but the front application
does not change! If we could leverage the same trick it might be a
slightly smoother user experience around the edges...

Sorry, that's what I get for stepping into the middle of a
conversation :) If you are a status item or other process that
lacks a Dock icon, then you probably have no choice but to steal
focus from the current app. There's no clean way to get key focus
without being the frontmost process; by definition, to have key
focus, you have to be the frontmost app :)
Anyway, if the user invoked your process specifically via a menu
item or keypress, then there's nothing unfriendly about it.
