I'd say that you need to be an NXApp to call NXRunAlert since it sets up a  
modal event loop, which implies there must be an event loop to filter.

One workaround is to write a (very) small app which takes as a command line  
argument some message text.  The app would just call NXRunAlert and then quit.
