Thanks for the info, Romain.  I guess that explains things.

But doesn't that violate the principle of "Apps are created equal", as
stated on the Android home page?  If the built-in apps have access to
these "secret" APIs that I can't use, then how are my apps equally
able to do such things as setting the wallpaper size in the wallpaper
service (if, say, I was trying to do my own home screen)?

It seems particularly odd, given that some of these APIs seem pretty
non-contentious -- like updating a field through a cursor.  Will this
be addressed and "levelled out" in future releases?  After all, I can
certainly understand if there simply wasn't time to provide clean
public APIs for these things.

Cheers,

Ian
