Launching a background app from within a Preferences Pane

Hi folks... It's me again... :-) Thanks for all your help, you guys rock!

This time I'm trying to launch my background application (command line app)
from within a Preferences Pane. This is bizarre--launching the program
works fine, as long as I'm debugging. If I try to just run System
Preferences by itself nothing happens. So far I've tried using NSTask,
-[NSWorkspace launchApplication:], and system() and they all produce the
same behavior: it only works from within the debugger.

I know it's not a path problem, I'm specifying the full system path (for
testing)...

I'm pretty sure the program's not running, it's supposed to write a file
right after it launches.

Thanks!
