Thanks Andy. Kyle, you make a good point. It dangerious to allow an app to annoy the user. I am building a menu extra that always shows up in the menu bar, but its icon is hidden from the dock and is never consider front by the OS. When these choose an item from my menu it cuases a window to open (a window the user wants open and in the front), but sometimes it appears hidden behind other windows. Thats why I asked this question.
