But the reason you outlined you need that info is to force them 
forward in front of the captured display window.  That's the problem; 
you cannot mix AppKit with a captured display.

As I wrote, even if it works on your specific system (e.g. using the 
accessibility API to receive notifications), it may not work at all on 
others.
