------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
I've just spent a couple of hours checking this.
The current GNUstep behavior appears to be the same as the MacOS-X and OpenStep 
behavior ... ie the interpretation of the word 'launched' means that a process 
was started, not that it is completely initialised/working.  I have updated the 
documentation to be (I hope) clearer about this than the MacOS-X documentation.

Summary:  NSWorkspace launchApplicaion: misbehaved

Original Submission:  NSWorkspace launchApplication:'name' does not behave as 
it should. 

>From apple docs:

Returns YES if the application is successfully launched...

However, it seems to return immediately after running application process. I 
think that application is 'successfulyl lanchued' when all app initialisation 
priocess ends and app's delegate receives applicationDidFinishLaunching: 
notification. Or ... application is sucessfully launched when i can connect to 
it. I wouls expect this method to wait for all application initialisation and 
for some distant notification about successfull launch.

Current misbehaviour requires workarounds to make it work.
