thanks for the hints.
I added UTIs (for PRICE it is easy, they are all public), it did not 
help, but I commitd the change anyway, it can't hurt. For Graphos I'll 
need to define my own, that later, when we understand what's going on. 
Just adding one makes the app not recognize its own docs anymore.

I put two breakpoints, in noteNewRecentDocumentURL: and 
noteNewRecentDocument:

I get first into the latter, then into the first, with this trace:
(gdb) bt
#0  0x920b4fd1 in -[NSDocumentController noteNewRecentDocumentURL:] ()
#1  0x91f9c4b3 in -[NSDocumentController 
_finishOpeningDocument:andShowWindows:] ()
#2  0x91f9b672 in -[NSDocumentController 
openDocumentWithContentsOfURL:display:error:] ()
#3  0x91f9a858 in -[NSDocumentController 
_openDocumentsWithContentsOfURLs:display:presentErrors:] ()
#4  0x920b5dcb in -[NSDocumentController openDocument:] ()
#5  0x91d8ea26 in -[NSApplication sendAction:to:from:] ()
#6  0x91d8e8d9 in -[NSMenuItem _corePerformAction] ()
#7  0x91d8e5ca in -[NSCarbonMenuImpl 
performActionWithHighlightingForItemAtIndex:] ()
#8  0x91d8e4b6 in -[NSMenu performActionForItemAtIndex:] ()
#9  0x91d8e469 in -[NSMenu _internalPerformActionForItemAtIndex:] ()
#10 0x91d8e3cf in -[NSMenuItem 
_internalPerformActionThroughMenuIfPossible] ()
#11 0x91d8e313 in -[NSCarbonMenuImpl 
_carbonCommandProcessEvent:handlerCallRef:] ()
#12 0x91d82a55 in NSSLMMenuEventHandler ()

There is no single line of code of PRICE in this trace! Is there a way 
to print out the URL? The document? IN the debugger I get only assembler.
It proves though that the methods do get called, that's something already.

I tried under Graphos, and the method gets called there too!

I even tried removing the recent menu items menu, since it gets 
auto-inserted! Nothing :(
