When the Workspace Manager launches an application, it creates
the tile; -MachLaunch passes the tile's PostScript window number
[second] and a sequence number [first] used to authenticate a
reply to Workspace indicating that the launch was successful and
initialization completed.  In the absence of -MachLaunch, the
program assumes that it is not operating under the control of the
Workspace Manager, and displays its own tile.  Note: the
distinction is more than cosmetic; e.g., see the description of
powerOff: (Application).

In most cases, [[NXApp appIcon] style] is probably the best way
to determine if an application's been launched from the Workspace
(NX_TOKENSTYLE) or not (NX_MINIWORLDSTYLE).  DiskPig uses a
different technique, since it wants to seize control before
miniworld creation.
