And easy to do.  An application can make a window active and
underneath other windows.  Using the WinSetWindowPos command, you can
position a window anywhere in the "stack" of windows you want and
either activate or deactivate it.  I discovered this when my first
version of MineSweeper were coming up focussed but underneath
everything until I forced it to the surface.
