Thanks, but I'm still not getting it. Does there have to be anything
special done with the runloop mode, or ports?

Here is the main() of my app. I have putting calls to [[NSRunLoop
currentRunLoop] run] both within the -scan method and at the end of my
main() function.

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import "SlackerMinder.h"

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    SlackerMinder *minder = [[SlackerMinder alloc] init];
    [[NSDistributedNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: minder
        selector: @selector(slackerLaunchedNotification:)
        name: MLSlackerLaunchedNotification
        object: nil];
    int retval = [minder scan]; // Slacker.app may be launched here
    [minder release];
    [pool release];
    return retval;
}
