Matthew,

I just took a look at mb-applet-launcher.c and it appears that there is
a 15 second timeout if there is no CreateNotify or PropertyNotify XEvent
sent after the application is launched.  This happens in the
get_launch_window() function.  So, if the launched action does not
create a new window or change the state of a window, it will wait the
timeout 15 seconds.

Would adding something like a "-nowindow" switch be appropriate or can
you think of a more elegant solution.

Thanks,
Tom
