It appears however, that in my app there is no background Thread that begins and the reason for that is because my app's window stays in the background until all NSOperations are complete. Any clues?
I suspect your app's window isn't staying in the background until all NSOperations are complete, but rather that it's staying in the background until your long for-loop completes.
You can't run a long for-loop on the main thread and expect event handling to proceed. (Well, you can, but only if your for-loop is handling events manually, itself.)
It sounds like you're fundamentally misunderstanding how things like the main run loop, event processing, operation queues, your for-loop, etc. interact.
