I recently solved this problem: unfortunately, you need to  
continuously poll the system for the front process and hide/show your  
window as appropriate. The Carbon Declare Library has enough  
functionality for you to accomplish this task.

All: If there is a better, non-polling way to do this, please pipe  
up! I'd love to hear about it.
