I've written several applications that behave like this, but the user
voluntarily runs them (even if it's launched as a login item and is just
invisible because it's a background app). I don't think users would like

To know when my target app is launched / frontmost I use Carbon Events. As
you say, NSWorkspace may now supply this functionality, but it didn't at the
time. m.
