- Your last statement is correct, a faceless app has no user interface
- whatsoever, there are no windows, menus, dialogs, etc, nor are you allowed
- to even initialise those managers in a faceless app. A faceless app will
- not appear on the finder list, but the memory it occupies will be added to
- the system memory figure.
