Something's busted. Click-through should be on by default in Cocoa
controllers, panel or not:
"An item that provides click-through is one that a user can activate
on an inactive window with one click, instead of clicking first to
make the window active and then clicking the item"
[...] Cocoa: Click-through is on by default. You must explicitly
disable click-through for specific controls. Do not assume that the
default behavior is the correct behavior. Make sure to apply the
above guidelines.

You should be able to recreate this in any two-window Cocoa app. Are
you implementing custom controls/windows which circumvent normal
Cocoa standards?
