Thank you, João.  That makes sense.

I think my case is a little different than yours.  Although it is indirectly linked to AppKit via a private framework, it does not have an “application” object; NSApp is nil, because I never call NSApplicationMain().

I think that, without an NSApp to receive them, I am effectively ignoring them.
