I am launching NewsGrazer from a shell script which is run when my  
workspace starts up. I want NewsGrazer to hide when it starts, the same  
way it would if I started it from the dock at login. I checked "Hide On  
Atuo-Launch" in preferences for NewsGrazer, but it is not really getting  
"Autolaunched", since it isn't started from the workspace dock, but rather  
from this script.

I tried setting "dwrite NewsGrazer NXAutolaunch YES" before launching the  
app, and I can see the default is set (via dread), but it still didn't  
hide. 

Is the any approved way to convince an app it has been autolaunched? Note  
that the script at workspace startup is run via the WorkSpace LaunchPaths  
default (if that makes any difference). Thanks in advance for any answers.
