OK. Well, if it ever comes up again, let me know. 

The next release, which I hope to get out today, will incorporate your changes to the bundle functions (with a slight twist for backwards compatibility and to make it obvious that they're not class functions: I renamed them to quartz_application_get_bundle() etc. and made the original names macros.) I also found where I'd gone astray in the constructor locking for GtkOSXApplication and fixed that, so it should now be thread-safe (though I haven't written a test to make sure).
