Is there a way of determining if a GUI user (ignoring remote shells

Here's what I use. It seems like it might be what you need.
/*!

unix group ID (id) of the current console user.
@result The string representation of the users's name
*/
+ (NSString*)consoleUserNameAndUid_p:(uid_t*)uid_p
gid_p:(gid_t*)gid_p ;
#import <SystemConfiguration/SCDynamicStoreCopySpecific.h>
+ (NSString*)consoleUserNameAndUid_p:(uid_t*)uid_p
gid_p:(gid_t*)gid_p {
NSString* name = (NSString*)SCDynamicStoreCopyConsoleUser(NULL,
uid_p, gid_p) ;
return [name autorelease] ;
}
To answer your question, compare the answer you get from that to what
you get from NSUserName() using -isEqualToString.
For the above to work, your target must link to /System/Library/
Frameworks/SystemConfiguration.framework
