You'll recall that I recently argued the opposite to you. Whether an app is
hidden or not is completely irrelevant to blind persons, because it's always
"hidden" from them. The ability to hide an application from view is not a
feature that blind persons require. Therefore, to make an application fully
accessible to a blind person, you should consider suppressing the hide
feature -- that is to say, make the app accessible even though it is hidden
from sighted people.
