that's an errant click from the user. there's nothing you can do about
that.

the problem is when a user intentionally clicks another app and a
*different* app forces itself frontmost. at best it's an annoyance and
at worst, it can cause data loss. *not* good.

i've been in the middle of finder drags and another window pops up in
front and obscures what i was doing, which means i have no idea where
the icon is. that's very broken.
