  I've found that some desirable things happen when -[Application run] is
called.  The only one I know about for sure is that the application's icon
(which is highlighted when you launch the app) becomes unhighlighted.

  That's why I did the following when I had to port an alien program to
NeXTStep:

@interface Controller:Object
@end

@implementation Controller
- appDidInit:sender {
    [NXApp stop];
    return self;
    }
@end

void main(
  int argc,
  char *argv[]
  )
  /*main*/ {
    NXApp = ...
    ...
    [NXApp setDelegate:[[Controller alloc] init]];
    [NXApp run];
    while( 1 )
      /*main loop*/ {
        ...
      /*main loop*/ }
  /*main*/ }
