I've tried tinkering with most of the obvious window attributes
(floating aka "utility," non-activating, and other doubtlessly
irrelevant attributes like "works when modal" and "becomes key only
if needed") in IB and programmatically, and nothing I've done so
far appears to affect this behavior.
I think part of the problem might be the terminology.
Rather than focusing on the label of "active," can you describe what
sort of behavior you're looking for from the window? There are plenty
of inspectors in Mac apps, which are essentially just "panel"
windows. How does that differ from what you need?
In general, most of the standard windows behaviors that users expect
are fairly easily to implement. If you find one behavior is
particularly hard to implement, it may be that the behavior is not
one Mac users are expecting.
