This is completely evil and disgusting and vomit-inducing. Don't do it. (Not to mention not all apps have an NSApplication).

Thanks for your acute input :-) Always a pleasure to hear the voice of reason incarnated.

But of course! Hacking the system to bits by loading your own code into every running application in order to do something for which there is already a perfectly good API just provokes a certain reaction (it wouldn't work anyway, since inputmanagers are only loaded by Cocoa apps and only Cocoa apps have NSApplications in 10.1; and not all OS X apps are Cocoa apps).

What more could you ask for?

Where is this legendary "Core Process Services" your are babbling about?

It's private (along with Core Graphics Services, in CoreGraphics.framework). I'm pretty sure I've seen headers to it floating about, though, and the API is almost exactly the same as the Carbon one (a CPSProcessSerNum is equal to a ProcessSerialNumber, for example).
