Interestingly, i read about one person's travails with trying to get the Mac 
to do this. Apparently, because the Mac application software is written 
expecting the window with focus to be the window on top, giving focus to 
lower in the stack breaks a number of things like menu accelerators and so 
on, because the app's menus aren't initialized unless the app is on top. So 
if the app gets a key and looks thru the menus to see if it is a menu 
shortcut, it can crash.
