Actually its Objective Pascal (see
http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_PasCocoa#Creating_and_running_application_with_one_menu_item
), but C also uses point to access internal members, so I would expect
anyone to be familiar to it. I would find it unlikely someone to be
familiar with only the objects part of Objective C and not with the C
part.

Aha! wow, I didn't expect this :) It does work normally if I start the
application by opening the .app bundle!

But I was all the time testing with an IDE, which uses gdb to debug
the app, and only in this case it doesn't work :D

So you are saying that I can in code do something to work around the
problem with NSApplicationActivationPolicyRegular? I'll try that. I
just wonder how to recognize if the app was started by gdb or by app
bundle...

But it looks like that in the worse case I could just ignore the issue.

thanks,
