I will try that. I do have LSBackgroundOnly set to 1 already, so I
had thought that would probably manage all such issues.
Note: it's not deactivating System Preferences -- it's still the
front-most application, with the name in the menu bar. It just
deactivates the *window*!

Launching a faceless app should not deactivate the current app,
because a
faceless app has no UI to activate. So I would verify that the
LSUIElement
key is properly set to "1" in the info.plist of the helper app.

Greetings,
I'm working on a little project that is a System Preferences pane
which controls a server.
One of the things the pane may do is to launch a faceless background
"helper" application. I'm doing this like so:
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchApplication:helperPath];
helperPath is the path to my helper app.
This works great, but when I do this, the System Preferences main
window becomes inactive, and I have to click the window to have it
become active again.
Is there a different way to launch an app like this so that I don't
lose activation?
Thanks!
