Isn't it possible to write either a command line tool or small app that
would just listen for all events... I think the param you pass for the
event to watch is either nil or null, and then log the even either to the
console or to a file or something?
The only thing I wonder is if the app would be able to log not only the
notification posted but the posting app or at least the posting class?
I was going to experiment with this but other things have consumed my time
and so if I am right about this and it would work let me know, if not, let
me know so I dont waste time.
Thanks
April.
