Re: 2nd fullscreen window and keyboard input

I remember this problem I had it awhile back. I'm working form memory 
here.

I'm pretty sure it is due to the screen layers and the full screen 
layer is second from the top layer. The very top layer is the shield 
layer. I wrote this about three years ago and my memory is faded a 
little. It says it is to stop the shield from consuming mouse events, 
might it might work for keyboard events as well...

Hope this helps.

    [super makeKeyAndOrderFront:sender];        // Moves current window to 
front and gives keyboard focus
}
