Supposing I have a GUI-based Cocoa app, is there any way I can run it as
a background process (i.e. invisible, like Apache, not just 'behind the
current app')? I've got an app which I'd like to be running in the
background of some macs (doing background processing for image crunching)
and I'd like to be able to ssh in and start them up remotely, without the
user getting a faceful of half-processed image.

No. NSApplicationMain() initialises a connection to the WindowServer. You could always create a foundation tool for your purposes.
