[Bug 1854204] Re: Menu is not clickable on OSX Catalina

[Peter Maydell]

Thanks for the research. That looks like an OSX bug to me -- the simple
two-line set of operations to do this that previously worked now needs
some horribly complicated multi-stage sequence, and the first suggested
workaround is doing something strange involving the Finder and a 0.1
second delay which I am definitely suspicious of. Apple should fix their
OS to stop breaking applications :-)

The second suggested approach is essentially to add:
 
    SetSystemUIMode(kUIModeNormal, 0);
    [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];

which for us probably would want to go before the [NSApp run] (or at
least after we've created the sharedApplication).

It's a bit odd also that the stackoverflow question says this only
happens "if you don't call [TransformProcessType] early enough", because
QEMU calls that about as early as it is feasibly possible to do, very
near the top of main() in cocoa.m.
