Yes and no.

If you change the example above to something like this

[...cut here...]
int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
{
  NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
  
  [NSApplication sharedApplication];

  [[Controller controller] launchApp];

  [pool release];

  exit EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
[...cut here...]

neither GNUstep, nor WindowMaker, will create an app-icon. However, as
soon as one of the info panels pop up, WindowMaker (not GNUstep) will
create an icon (using WM's default pixmap thingy) - that's fine with
me, since WM will remove that icon if/when the popup is closed.

The problem is that I need to catch notifications to the delegate, so
I can't use the above snipped -- unless someone has an idea how to
catch them anyway.
