Thanks, Greg and Ian.  My program *does* only show up below other windows, but 
it does have within it an Fl_Gl_Window that responds properly to mouse clicks.  
So it partially has the qualities that Greg says suggest the need for making an 
app bundle.

I hadn't really looked at app bundles before, since my terminal-based programs 
ported from Linux worked just fine.  I guess it's time for me to drink a little 
more of the Apply Cool-Aid.

I'm using CMake to build the project, so I'm going to need to look into how 
CMake does OS X bundles.  Man, this OS X programming is one... learning 
opportunity... after another :)

Thanks again for all the help.
