2 ideas:

- Have the app put up a modal panel explaining that the app can only be quit 
from the Activity Monitor (or CLI). Or, better: Why redirect to the Activity 
Monitor? Why not use a delegate notification to ask the user if they really 
want to terminate? Why force a user to go to the Activity Monitor?

- Consider writing a UI-less service without a dock (and main menu) entry and 
pop up UI elements as needed.

thanks!-
