kane@sonata.cc.purdue.edu (Chris Kane) gave the winning suggestion.

[window-id setEventMask:0]

That window won't respond to NUTHIN' now. :-)

Unfortunately, it won't let you use the right mouse button to get the app

to allow right button up and down, mouse entered and exit, and two other
things that I can't remember, still no go).
