Hi,

What is the problem that you're really trying to solve here? Why do 
you need to find a window behind the key window that's not the main 
window? I suspect that we will be able to give you a better answer if 
we can understand what you're really trying to do.

As an example, your real problem might not be that you need the 
ability to find a non-main window, but rather that the window you're 
trying to find *should* be main, but isn't. It's important to identify 
the correct problem to solve before attempting to find a solution.
