Thanks.  I thought there was something like that.  I had seen the 
"Windows-Specific settings", but what I tried in the past didn't work.  I set 
the "Focus stealing prevention" for XMathematica to "none", and I now get the 
window to pop up.  That seems to work without changing the "global" setting.
