I think the problem may be your UIElement-ness. It's been ages since I worked on a UIElement app, and when I did it had to pop something up on the screen atop of everything, so I just put my window in the floating window layer (or was it called Utility window level? Well, one of the CGWindowLevel constants that you can pass to NSWindow's setLevel:).
I'm not sure if there is a way to bring windows with a document window level to front, but what I'd try is activating your application. I think NSApplication has a method to bring it to front, or make it active, or whatever the terminology was. Makes it the front process and swaps in its menu bar (which of course won't happen for your UIElement). Well, I'd try that, it may or may not work. Hope these clues help you in figuring it out.
