Look again - the standard Font Panel window title bar has the
"background" white and striped look, while the Terminal Window Settings
inspector has the gray gradient look. Don't mix the Finder into this -
it's not only a Carbon app, but also really weird in so many other
ways. Don't get me started... In fact, I think it's probably best for
this thread if we can keep it on a "conceptual" level. You will of
course be able to find apps that stick out for one reason or other.
Hopefully they have a good reason for doing so, and if not - why not
file an enhancement request / bug report?
I'm also not aware of a visual difference for key or non-key. To me,
Xcode's Font window can be active or not. (I don't know if this is
what you mean by "main.")
This is Cocoa terminology, I'm not sure if it exists in Carbon or not.

Note that they use the Font Panel as an example of a key window, which
is a bit unfortunate as it most often isn't. In the screenshot it has
the right appearance on the title bar, but it doesn't have a
highlighted control, so I wonder if it's doctored? Not that it its very
important...

I agree with you, David; I also see no difference. The only difference
that I can perceive is an extremely _slight darkening of the terminal
inspector's title bar to indicate that it has focus. But, to make
things further inconsistent, moving through the windows with command-`
after calling up the terminal inspector NEVER RETURNS FOCUS TO THE
INSPECTOR!
It probably cycles through the windows that you find listed in the
Window menu (incidentally they would typically be of the "main" window
type for the application in question). So, it's not inconsistent - at
least not with regards to how it was designed...
