Just to clarify,
-- begin AppleScript
tell application "AnyApplication"
activate
end
-- end AppleScript
will start up any app, whether it's scriptable or not. Of course,
you have to name your target app properly, that is, substitute a real
name for "AnyApplication".

Thanks. That looks like it would work for scriptable apps (although
I haven't tried it against a beachballer), but not for non-
scriptable ones.
Spin Control doesn't seem to do any polling - it just seems to be
waiting for a callback or notification of some kind - presumably
that's in some private API.

I was hoping that there might be some kind of no-op Apple Event

There is certainly one -- the one that is dispatched by
AppleScript when you tell app "SomeApp" to run.
