I also don't know why I'm receiving seemingly incorrect, or at
least very unnecessary, extra window activation and deactivation
notifications, via didBecomeMain and didResignMain, but this is a
separate topic, and I can probably get to the bottom of these issues.
The apps that don't have this are probably Carbon, are they? Or
maybe they're just using non-activating panels. The new behaviour has
two activation states. One is the "main" window, which has the
gradient, and the other is a more subtle "frontmost window in its
layer" hightlight.
This distinction is actually very useful, in particular for
controlling an app via keyboard. You can use Cmd-~ (or Cmd-< on some
localized keyboards) to make whatever window you want main, floater
or document. And then the "Zoom" and "Minimize" menu items will apply
to that window. Same goes for the "Close" menu item. Before Apple
introduced this behaviour, it was impossible to perform the actions
of the window widgets under keyboard control for some windows.
