appropriate amount of time so that recipient's machine is ready for it when
it comes! Seems to me that Application Launcher should have some way of
automatically launching an application it has received via beaming.

It should be an option. I'd rather have the feature and decide to use it or
not to use it, than to be told I can't have it because it poses risks.
