i know that there at least one application that was a hack, and now (in a
new version) they made it stand-alone (this application is counting the time
spent on each application in the palm)
my guess that they get the trap of opening application, start to count, get
the trap for exiting application , stop to count.
so if another application will use these traps then the system will be
unsatable ?
or i'm missing something ?
