In the end I solved this by:
1) Not showing the quick-entry dialog as modal
2) Setting the quick-entry window to 'Non Activating' in IB
3) Setting the panel to 'Utility' (so it stays in front of the other apps)
That seems to do the trick.
Thanks to everyone for the ideas.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the clues. This almost does what I want - I can now jump back to the
original app the user was working in. Two problems remain:
1) There is an unpleasant visual jump for the user as the quick-entry app jumps
to the front and then then original app jumps back to the front.
