Usually, a message that your delegate receives will include a "sender"
argument.  This is true for the windowDidBecomeKey: delegate method.
The "sender" refers to the Window object that something has happened
to, so for instance, when your delegate gets a windowDidBecomeKey:
message, the sender refers to the Window which just became the
key window.

Hope this helps.
