Ah, that's useful info. Surely the app *can* say "hey, in case the
launcher didn't tell you, I'm starting baby!"?

What about cases like double-clicking a file in Nautilus, which opens it
in a specific app?

The animation I described might also be useful for the case of a USB
device that can be detected before it can be identified (we know a USB
device is there for some time before we know what it is).
