NSWindow's delegate protocol declares a -windowDidResignKey: method that
you may also find useful.  But I suspect you are going to have trouble
because the window is modal; as a result I don't think that will be
called when you would like.

What you are describing is highly non-standard, and Cocoa behaves in a
manner to discourage behaviors that users may find confusing or
unexpected.  A phrase commonly seen on this list is "don't fight the
framework."

Take note of the HIG's section titled "Embrace Modelessness" - you are
feeling the nudge of the framework.  I also see that the HIG recommends
using a panel if possible, just as Scott recommended.
