GateKeeper, on the other hand, is either on or off. If it's on, it blocks all apps, every time they launch. As I understand it, you can hold a meta key while launching and it will prompt you, but only that one time. Subsequent launches are not pre-approved.

Not so. From the App Distribution Guide:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/DistributingApplicationsOutside/DistributingApplicationsOutside.html

"The Mac displays an alert that blocks you from opening the application. By way of this alert, the Gatekeeper feature protects a Mac by preventing first-time opening of applications from unidentified developers. Applications previously opened by a user are no longer quarantined, and Gatekeeper does not prevent them from opening."

and that matches my experiences with Gatekeeper. If I hold down the Control key to launch an app that Gatekeeper objects to, it doesn't ask again.

I run far too many apps to be able to turn on gatekeeper. But I would like to have properly-signed apps run without prompting, and unsigned apps to prompt once and then never again if approved.

Properly-signed apps *do* run without prompting. Depending on the System Preferences setting for Gatekeeper, properly-signed apps are those from the Mac App Store or those signed with a developer ID distribution certificate.

Any other code-signed apps are *im*properly signed, because the certificates used to sign them are untrusted.
