No, I mean *hidden*.  Try:

	use Mac::Apps::Launch;
	Hide('GKON');

Then send events to it, and you won't see the window, because
GraphicConverter will be hidden (assuming it is already running).

Also note that Mac::Glue creates glues from the aete resource, however,
those glues -- just big data structures -- can be edited (with the glueedit
droplet) so you can add the missing classes/events/etc.

And maybe ask him to add them to the aete resource.  :-)
