It's been a long time since I did this, but I believe that borderless  
windows cannot become key or main by default -- you have to override  
if you want them to.

I don't know the details for preventing a window from being brought to  
the front, but note that for the purpose, clicks should not pass  
*through* it but be stopped by it.

Also, don't forget to think about the proper behavior in a multiple- 
monitor system.
