Yes, but that's not the reason I asked that particular question. The  
reason for that is that in my particular case, one of the windows is  
specifically supposed to handle user input while the others are only  
for displaying information (to be precise, one is a chess board and  
the other two show a list of moves and some statistics on the current  
search). I want the window that the user has to actually interact with  
to be the active window after I've opened up all three windows.

Sure, the user can always make it the active window by clicking it,  
but it'd be really annoying if s/he always had to do that.
