I think it is because one can't really differentiate a running app and one
that is just a launcher.  I think on the Mac, there is some indication that
it is a running app, by a dot or something.  I have to look at OSX really.
So if you were to enhance the icon saying that it is running that would be a
good step towards getting people to use it more.


If there is no bug on it, I'll file one.
