The answer is quite simple: NSApplicationMain now does a bit more than  
just creating the shared application and starting the run loop. In  
particular it loads the main model file (have a look at its  
implementation in Functions.m).

This used to be different in prior versions of GNUstep, where the main  
model file was loaded in -launchApplication. AFAIR, this was changed  
for compatibility with Apple.
