Hi Greg,
since you're apparently running on windows, maybe this may be of help:
import win32gui, win32ui


def _MyCallback( hwnd, extra ):
     extra.append(hwnd)

windows = []
win32gui.EnumWindows(_MyCallback, windows)

j = 0
winDict = {}
for i in windows:
     if win32gui.IsWindowVisible(i):
         winDict[j] = i
         j += 1

win32gui.SetForegroundWindow(winDict[1]) # found this out by inspection
                                          # the key of the window on top
try:
     fgwindow = win32ui.GetForegroundWindow()
     print fgwindow.GetWindowText()
except:
     print "No window found on the ForeGround?!"

I'm not very happy with this algorithm, but given my little knowledge of 
MS Windows and the very few times the exception is raised, it suffices 
in my case.

Regards, Roger
