Hi Antonio,
I just build a simple app trying to do the same as you did. The result I
get are the same as you (with RB 5 it is even worse). But I tried also
to build the MacOSX version and use it on MacOS9: the appe could
succesfully be launched and the global floating window works all right.
It was not a wild guess. Because I know how to write Macintosh
application in C++, I knew that there is a difference between the two
WindowManagers. The Carbon Window Manager has support for
global-floating windows, where the classic Window Manager does not. As a
result, a non-carbon application has to implement this global floating
trick by itself (misusing an API that was created for something else).
From building my own C++ application framework, I remember that this
wasn't easy.
Happy programming,
Eddy Walet

I made a small appe that control periodically e-mail accounts, and when
found new messages, displays the results in a global floating window.
When functioning as APPL all it's ok, but when the only background bit
is set, the global floating window does not receive any cllick on the
window title, so it's impossible to move the window. Strangely the close
button behaves properly.
Any clue?
Thank You.
