I always think of more to say *after* I hit Send...
I haven't tried spelunking in iTunes, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't use NSPopover. You might want to try an alternative like Matt Gemmell's MAAttachedWindow: <http://mattgemmell.com/source/>. I don't know if it has the same issues or not, but worth a look I think.

Unfortunately, the window is an instance of a private class (_NSPopoverWindow), which means you don't get a chance to subclass it and override canBecomeKeyWindow.
