So, I downloaded the latest CVS sources last night and compiled them up this
morning. And, what do you know - toolbar:start() produced a splendid Aqua
rendition.

Trouble now is that I can't make it active. Clicking in the toolbar window
brings the error:

SetFrontProcess failed,-606.

A bit of digging reveals that -606 means appIsDaemon - "Application is
background only". The docs for this Carbon routine say that
SetFrontProcess() will not work if the process is a background-only
application.

So, next question. How do we make ourselves into a foreground application?
Or failing that any other ideas?
