I see now that it's indeed for all GUI apps launched/quit, which is
good. There's some weirdness with the NSApplicationName key in the
userInfo dictionary, though (which is of only marginal use anyway; why
can't we have the path, or an FSSpec or such?).

If the app has a version number in its name which includes a period,
(like "BBEdit 6.5"), I only get back "BBEdit 6" as the name. This seems
to happen in other places too. When I set Mailsmith (app name "Mailsmith
1.5") to be my default email app in Sys Prefs -> Internet, it shows up
in the popup menu as "Mailsmith 1". Odd.

There are a number of problems of this sort with the NSWorkspace notifications; they should be fixed in the next major release of the system, which will also include more information about the application in question.
