Thanks david, you got it. This is what would be helpful. I think, that both 
thigs (waiting method: launchApplication:wait:(BOO) and the notification) can 
be useful.

The goal I want to achieve with this method is to make use of application 
services by using listener more accessible and easier to use and to expose 
easier application cooperation. Plus: not to fiddle with NSConnection, as this 
seems to be a not very clean.
