That's actually a very good question Ben, I should have clarified. I start
it from wharf. Also, when I say that no other applications are running, I
mean nothing on the WinList. Pager is running, wharf is running with several
Swallowed applications, WinList is running but isn't visible until I start
the first application which opens it's own window on the desktop, which is
when the annoying loss of focus occurs.
