Re: Launched window not activating

Probably, the current task doesn't allow that window becomes key.
Maybe you have to open that window in a thread. Or launch your
register-class in a thread.
Did you try to use a window placed in the MainMenu.nib file? If the result
is the same, most likely the problem is not caused by the new nib file but
by the current task.
