If your databases' creator IDs match the application, they should not show
up in the launcher delete dialog, period. Make sure you're looking at the
creator ID, not the type of the db. You don't see the AddressBookDB,
MemoDB, or any other DB of a builtin in there either.
If you are using a 3rd party browser like Z'catalog to view the list of
databases, then of course you will see them. Most users do not have
utilities like that, and the ones who do generally know not to delete
stuff. In fact, using ZCatalog is a good way for *you* to tell that
the creator IDs are the same.
