Follow-up Comment #2:

I've reclassed this as minort rather than closing it.

I've changed the code in GSLaunched() to hide the problem/prevent the crash
since, while I can't reproduce the problem by running an app, the stacktrace
makes it quite clear what the immediate problem is even though it doesn't
tell us the underlying cause.

Simply, the code was assuming that the notification user info contained the
NSApplicationName value that the notifications should have in them ... then
raising a nil pointer exception when trying to use the (non-existent) name
from the dictionary.

Clearly this was wrong and the code should have chacked the notification
contents (since any app can send the notifications and omit information which
should have been in them), however the question is how did that bad
notification get sent tto your copy of Gorm ... where did it come from  and
if it was posted with the application name in it, how did that get lost?
