Well, this isn't a perfect solution, as it causes brief flicker, but it's 
better than nothing.  Put this in the background window's Activate event:

  dim i,n as integer
  
  n = WindowCount-1
  for i = 1 to n
    Window(n).Show
  next

But this would be easier if RB provided a way to return a value from the 
Activate event that would prevent the activate from happening.  You can 
always REALbug a request for something like that.
