Anyone know why in some apps, my code doesn't get GS/OS "disk inserted"
notification proc calls until after a desk accessory accesses the disk?
I tried adding a NullGS call, thinking that might flush the queues or
something, but no go.

My immediate guess is that a rogue DA is swallowing the calls before
they get to you. Try a process of elimination, or trace with Richard's
IPC Spy?

That's a thought. It's odd though that it only happens in a few apps;

AWGS and DreamGrafix for example. Other apps, the disk insertion events
come through as expected: 3DLogo, Finder, others.

So... adding a call to my code to periodically do a HandleDiskInsert

call seems to clear it up. Looks like the disk insertion GS/OS
notification proc is only called when that's done or so. Anyway, my
particular problem seems to be resolved.

I usally make the call within the main Taskmaster loop, and handle
accordingly. That seems to be fairly relaible.

Yeah, except my code isn't an app. It's... something different. :)
