Thanks for your reply. Maybe this will have been fixed by Leopard.
In the interim I've actually found a solution, albeit a less elegant
one. I've moved all of my GUI code into a separate application target
that I launch using NSTask when user input is need, the .app has
LSBackgroundOnly set in its plist so the entire procedure is still
invisible to the end user as I had intended. Piping data back into
the Agent is then simple using the existing NSConnection I setup to
recieve data from other Apps.
The only code I could get to work to launch the external app is:
Is there anyway to launch the app directly (without using /usr/bin/
open) so that I can retain a handle on it and terminate it after a
timeout?

basically unusable in Tiger because of this. Your best solution will
be to use one of the other methods detailed in
