i see theres this NSAppleEventManager, and that with that you can "suspend" an event and resume it later. i think this is what i want.
but how do I get my app to force all these events to get sent (and therefore handled) on demand (before i go thru loading all the startup stuff)? i can only suspend an event if it's being handled. the problem is my app never gets to handle them.
