Alert window in 'application as agent' not given focus

Question

UPDATE: My application is runing as agent, I found when I turn that off, the alert window is given focus normally. Any ideas how to solve that?

I am showing an alert window first time the application is ran in AppController's awakeFromNib. When I run it in Xcode, it's runs as a key window, but when I build the app, it's not given focus. Why? How can I give it focus?

AppController.m

NSInteger kbSetup = NSRunAlertPanel(kbLetsStart, kbLetsStartDscr, @"OK", @"Maybe Later", nil);
kbSetup == 1 ? [self showPreferencesPanel:nil] : [NSApp performSelector:@selector(terminate:) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.0];

Even if I create an instance of NSAlert, and then do [[alert window] makeKeyAndOrderFront:self] , it's still not key...

OK, the solution is calling [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES]; before opening alert. doh.
