John may take some inspiration from my own version of this:

http://subversion.ardour.org/svn/ardour2/branches/2.0-ongoing/libs/gtkmm2ext/gtkapplication_quartz.mm

related: the header for gtkapplication.h:

http://subversion.ardour.org/svn/ardour2/branches/2.0-ongoing/libs/gtkmm2ext/gtkmm2ext/gtkapplication.h

(needless to say the X11 version is all just empty stubs)

the C++ wrapper:

http://subversion.ardour.org/svn/ardour2/branches/2.0-ongoing/libs/gtkmm2ext/gtkmm2ext/application.h

(the signals there are what relay the backend events (e.g. apple
events like "Quit") up to my gtkmm application. the long term goal was
to actually implement these with gsignal within gtkapplication itself
and then have gtkmm wrap those signals in the same way that it
normally does)
