Trying to switch applications using About This Computer: I control-click
an application and get a choice of Open (should be Switch To, shouldn't
it?) or Help.  Clicking Open, I get the following dialog with the choice
of OK or Cancel:

The document "[name of app]" is locked, so you will not be able to save
any changes. Do you want to open it anyway?

I OK it, it then does what I wanted it to do.  What's wrong?
