Follow-up Comment #6, bug #27309 (project gnustep):
Well, it sort of works, but not in a useful way for a machine where the

_app_is_hidden set to NO for this to
Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27309 (project gnustep):

[NSApplication finishLaunching] when the parameter autolaunch is given. We
probably should think a bit more about the pre-conditions, though.
