This sounds like a very common problem, specifically that the application
does not have the proper resources set up to register it with the window
manager.

After the executable is linked, you just need to run:

% /Developer/Tools/Rez Carbon.r -o myapp

Alternatively you can package up your program into a proper .app (see the
XCode docs for more details).
