...where did you get the GEM 0.90?  I don't recall when the input  
event code was corrected, but it's definitely in cvs...OTOH, you  
mention using pd-0.39-2, so I assume you complied that yourself or  
are using Miller's pre-compile...in this case, you are missing a  
crucial patch that gives pd and the gem window all the necessary  
things to convince the finder to give them full application status,  
and thereby let the gem window become the "front window"...

...another way to check this would be to look at the gem window when  
it is created:  does the title bar look kinda "grayed" out?  Also,  
with the window created, is there an icon for pd in the dock?  If so,  
ya need to switch to HCS's installer, or apply the patch yourself  
(see archives)...

ps:  if the above is true, you can still input events by additionally  
holding down the "command/open-apple" key...but this is kinda wonk-y...
