10.9, or 10.11 and later.
why fail only on 10.10?

In Mavericks and earlier, AppleEvents would dispatch as they came in, even

Hi, I'm Dave, senior engineer at Adobe Systems.
We definitely want this functionality, in fact filed a DTS incident for (and
got some help with) custom-drawing menu items, for the express purpose of
drawing an arbitrary string as the "keyboard shortcut" in menus. and i can
tell you the work
strings files are not true dictionary files in the sense of NS or CF
dictionaries, so you can't treat them like an xml file (plist)
you can parse them line by line, manually, if you want to read them in. unless
there's another way i don't know about.

yes i have that method. i'm just saying it is not being called in this case.
the event is never received by the app on startup.
if i double click the icon AFTER startup, it works fine.
