I see, although I wonder, how many Macs that are still in
use are that slow ... ;-)

So what would you suggest? Only add it, when the program has
arguments? Or (assuming you can find out that it was started from
the command line) whenever it was started from the command line?

Or only, when the programmer specifically asks for it? Anyway,
IMO it would be really great to have the code in wx generally
available, as currently it's quite hard to find out what you need to
do, when you need that changed behaviour...
