Summary:  NSDocumentController's -application:openFile: can't work

Original Submission:  If you take a not document-based application, for example 
ImageViewer, you will see that -application:openFile: is implemented in the app 
controller, in this case "AppController.m". 
When the app is not active and an other app or tool calls its 
-application:openFile: through DO, ImageViewer creates a new window and shows 
it:
 [window orderFrontRegardless];
 [window makeKeyWindow];
 [window display];

this doesn't work for document-based applications, because 
-application:openFile, implemented in NSDocumentController, calls -showWindow: 
in NSWindowController. And NSWindowController's -showWindow: calls 
-makeKeyAndOrderFront: for its window.
But NSWindow's -makeKeyAndOrderFront: returns without doing anything if, as in 
this case, the app is not active. And the new window is newer shown.
