does this work with Dashboard? it seems that dashboard is a

Well, obviously it does not.
You'd need a NSWorkspaceDidActivateApplicationNotification, but it
looks like there is no such thing. You could periodically poll -
[NSWorkspace activeApplication], but I hope someone has a better
idea, because if you do I would not want your process running on my
Mac.
Today, the only solution seems to be to install a Carbon Event
handler for the {kEventClassApplication, kEventAppFrontSwitched}
event.
A hacky idea might be to create an Objective-C Dashboard widget that
reports when it is displayed or updated, if that's possible.
