Was it perhaps [NSWindow setAlphaValue: 0.8] that was the other 
problematic selector? Since X11 doesn't natively support alpha on 
windows, I thought that this might be a likely candidate that doesn't 
work. I've conditionalized this call and the one to isHidden now. The 
former is really only eye-candy, while checking the latter is not needed 
when there aren't any hidden views anyway.

If anyone has suggestions for how to make this more intuitive, how to 
make it behave in a smarter way, or any other ideas how I'd best expand 
upon this, that'd be nice.
