I can't reproduce that behavior ... I guess it is a system specific/config
issue on your systems (mine is Debian unstable Intel 64bit in the default
flattened directory layout built with debug=yes).

If I can't reproduce it, there's not much i can do to help apart from make a
few suggestions ... If it's failing to launch automatically then presumably
either the executables aren't being found or they are failing to run (perhaps
dynamic library loading issues).

I think the best bet for diagnosing the problem would be to run an app under
gdb and set a breakpoint in the -_launchApplication:arguments: method of
NSWorkspace and step through to see exactly what it's doing (ie what it uses
as the path and arguments of the executable.  If the breakpoint is never
reached, you could set one in the GSContactApplication() function and step
through from there.
