I want to open another application (say, Safari) in the "layer" just

"Solution" 2:
[ws launchApplication:@"Safari"]; // opens Safari in front
[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES]; // pushes my app in front,
effectively right above Safari
Problem with solution 2: I must be doing it wrong, because my own
application's window doesn't ever get its focus back and the GUI
seems to hang.
I think that -activateIgnoringOtherApps: is being done "too soon".
The NSApplicationDeactivatedEventType event is pending and hasn't had
a chance to be processed, yet. So, you need to make arrangements to
call -activateIgnoringOtherApps: after a short delay. You can use -
performSelector:withObject:afterDelay:, but you can't use -
activateIgnoringOtherApps: directly, because it doesn't have the
required signature. So, you have to implement a simple trampoline
method.
