Apple applications differ from Linux and Windows in that the normally don't get launched twice, even if you double-click them twice. OS X expects that an app can handle multiple documents, so opening another instance of an ap merely opens a new document, but not a new app. (You can still open the same app twice from the command line, but not from the desktop). So sending command line arguments to "main" is no good when launching the second instance, simply because "main" is only called once at launch. Instead, OS X sends an Apple Event to the already running application, requesting it to open another doc. FLTK supports that with the "void fl_open_callback(void (*cb)(const char *))" interface. This still does not allow passing of command line flags, though.
