Hmm, no it doesn't. So this is inconclusive. However, making an
application launch through a root application does not work either:

tell application "NetInfo Manager"
set blah to path to application "Terminal"
set blah to blah & "Contents:MacOS:Terminal"
tell application blah
--activate
end tell
end tell
display dialog (blah as string)
