I was at Tim's place today and fiddled a bit with squeak on windows,  
also with some other applications.

It seems Windows prefers to raise the window and pass on the click to  
the application. If this is the
accepted Windows behavior I don't see a need to change it.

What I was confirming is the behavor on os-x should match the  
expectations set by the UI and followed by other application.
That results in less confusion and ensures Squeak isn't behaving  
weirdly as compared to all the other applications
someone might be using on a mac.
