What you're missing, I think, is that LaunchServices doesn't scan
preference panes for types.
Shot in the dark, but looking at LSInfo.h it seems LSRegisterURL (with
your bundle URL) might work:
/*
* LSRegisterURL()
*
* Discussion:
* If the specified URL refers to an application or other bundle
* claiming to handle documents or URLs, add the bundle's document
* and URL claims to the Launch Services database.
*
However, the ADC documentation says something slightly different:
""A Core Foundation URL reference designating the application to be
registered; see the CFURL Reference in the Core Foundation Reference
Documentation for a description of the CFURLRef data type. The URL
must have scheme file and contain a valid path to an application file
or application bundle.""
So you take your chances!
BTW, is a preference pane actually able to handle stuff like the
'oapp' or 'rapp' events? Seems to me that System Preferences.app would
receive those and just ignore it.
