I think [active] will tell you if the current patch is in the foreground or background, but I needed something a little deeper. Actually, a guy from the wacom developer team sent me some example code on how to do this at an 'AppleEvents' level and I already have a wacom object of os x how I need it (disconnected from the cursor, even when pd is in the background). Supposedly this "isn't nice" to other apps, but hey, pd is more important than them anyway :)
