There's two kinds -- applications which don't ask for input and 
applications which explicitly ask for no input.  The former are likely 
broken ancient programs with no hints, the latter are likely output only 
windows.  There shouldn't be any way to set the focus to an application 
which says it doesn't want it, or at least it should be pretty hard.
