Try this, I agree there is still a small window where the application i=
s vunerable in the blue box, but what if the "Application" which gets l=
aunched is simply a loader which loads the "real" application into a se=
parate process (server process). This process then laods a GUI shell in=
to the blue box. Then as the application is running it occasionally che=
cks the state of the BB and if there is a problem with its GUI part it =
shuts it down and reloads a new one. To the user the GUI would appear t=
o be "crash proof". Of course the application would need to maintain "s=
tate" information about the GUI so the restart would appear bumpless.
