Sounds related to what I was going to ask ...

I need to run a background application, no menus, no windows, except an
occasional information popup. The problem I have, is, that I need the
app to start like this:

  int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
  {
    Controller
      controller = [[Controller alloc] init];

    [NSApplication sharedApplication];

    [NSApp setDelegate: controller];

    [NSApp run];

    exit EXIT_SUCCESS;
  }

but as soon as the delegate is active, GNUstep will create an application
icon, which is (in that particular case) a no-no.

So, the question is: Is there ANY way, to start up an application as
above, WITHOUT having an app icon?
