[g-a-devel]Application addition and removal

[Marc Mulcahy <marc mulcahy sun com>]

Yes, I thought of this, but I don't think... that desktops have a pointer 
to their registry, so there didn't seem to be a non-hackish way to do it 
this way.  Maybe there's a better way to do this, and if someone has a 
preferrable approach, I can change it.

Maybe the right approach is to give each desktop a pointer to its registry 
and then just emit the event notifications directly...
