	Ok - you sure associating all this with a 'Control' is what you really
want to do ? a Control in Bonobo land is a very specific thing - a
single view, graphical item. This contrasts with Windows where the word
'Control' is meaningless [ an invisible timer 'control' eg. ;-]

	Explain what you are trying to achieve; is it that you want to have
only 1 running instance of your app, and to pass cmdline arguments to
the running instance when new versions are run ?

	Regards,
