Two reasons ... one of which is 'wrong'

1. To control the distinction between key and main window in a GNUstep app
2. To avoid horrible flicker as Window Maker tries to set a window to be key,
and the gnustep app tells it not to!  This is probably wrong, as there is
likely a better mechanism to stop this.  In particular, this would occur 
whenever
a user clicked on a gnustep menu - window maker would shift the focus to the
menu, causing the title-bar of the 'key' window to get grayed.
