I don't know what happens to those events, but it doesn't really matter --
they're not going to show up.  Even if they did show up, they would
be worthless because they couldn't be processed until the alert (actually
any modal dialog) went away, and they'd be just before the activate event.
The simple solution is to hang a flag off the refcon which tells whether
the window is active.  If it is, don't activate it again.
