Yes dynamically linking to a library that uses mySQL GPL code triggers the GPL license.
However, IANAL but I would agree that if you made a standalone application (graphic or background) and that this application was a "middleman" of sorts between your real application and mySQL and all this middleman did was provide a service for your real application (i.e. Used IPC or AppleScript or listened on a port for communications) I think that would be a successful sidestep of the GPL requirement. Of course the middleman code would have to be GPL.
