This sounds like classic Factory pattern.

Perhaps a static factory fn could be created, which provides for an
easier transition (ie an easy way to sed the old code to use a
standard factory function)?

I'd say the movement towards standardization across desktops is a good thing.

Factory methods for standard stock items are common in Java (from memory).

Just my 2c.
