Well, the basic reason is that the application is undergoing a
conversion to Cocoa and the first step is to convert the various

desired for everything to look the same until the rest of the Carbon
panels get converted.
I am not arguing in favor of actually doing this, but I was asked
the question by someone else and I didn't know if it was possible or
not. As near as I can tell it is not (easily) possible.
If you're saying that the answer you'd prefer is that it's not
possible, then I'm quite happy to help you out: Noooooooo, it isn't
possible. ;)
Seriously, if the app being converted is big enough for this to be an
issue, conversion is going to be hard enough without adding to the
complexity this way.
Also, what's supposed to happen to the main window when the panel
becomes key? There's a small but important change in a main/non-key
window. Would you be trying to suppress that difference too?
