How can an app capture events when it is not active? I'm finding that NSApplication doesn't dispatch events unless it's the currently active application (for instance, using nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:)

However, it must be possible to capture events while inactive. The Apple utility app Digital Color Meter, for example, is clearly getting mouse move events even when it's not active.
