While this works on Windows, and maybe Linux, it's not really suitable for the
Mac. The code might allow the Mac version to come up with no windows I don't
think our Mac users would be happy with the amount of memory the 'invisible'
application would consume. Especially if we try to launch every time after a re-boot.
