Juggler Aware means that the application will deactivate its frontmost
window when it gets a suspend event and reactivate it on a resume.  If this
bit is not set, MultiFinder will do something to force the application to
deactivate the window, which will rquire extra time for the context switch.

Before MultiFinder, an application only had to worry about clipboard
conversion when it received a suspend event.
