I take some time to look inside NSApplication code. This class highly depends on graphic display. It seems to me that it would be easier to write a SDLApplication class with a partial NS-like interface, and then use the only AppKit classes that dont need any display output (not so easy to find :-\ ) And i will follow your advice and create a scaledown SDL backend that will only handle events. I might also need a SDLWindow class (singleton!) to receive window specific events (iconify, expose...), and maybe a SDLOpenGLView class... I have look at OOlite (thanks Markus !). They dont use NSApplication but they have created a GameController class based on SDL and other SDL companion libs. I think they dont use much of AppKit.
