Bring app to foreground in 10.5

Hi,

For apps that run in the background (LSUIElement=1, 
LSBackgroundOnly=1), the following code brings the app to the 
foreground under 10.4:

// Transform process from background to foreground
ProcessSerialNumber psn = { 0, kCurrentProcess };

OSStatus returnCode = TransformProcessType(& psn, 
kProcessTransformToForegroundApplication);
   
if( returnCode != 0)
   NSLog(@"Could not bring app to front. Error %d", returnCode);
   
// Bring the main window back up
[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
[mainWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront: self];

In 10.5, however, this code no longer works 100%. The app window does 
come to the foreground, but not its menu bar. To make the app menu 
bar show up, one has to take the additional step of switching to some 
other app and then switching back.

Does anyone know what needs to be done to bring the app menu bar back 
to foreground with the app?

Thanks,
