- Only if the program bringing up the requester is broken. The requester
- should *not* be brought up in an active window. Somewhere in the RKMs
- it suggests that windows (hence requesters) should only have the
- "activate" flag if they are in response to a user action. Asynchronous
- windows popping up should not use the "activate" flag.
