[X4U] start app in background

[net kat]

Bill;

when I run that script (saved as an application) iPhoto launches and  
doesn't come to the front, BUT when I switch to iPhoto, there's no  
window, and no way to get one: every menu item relating to opening/ 
getting the albums is greyed out...

maybe iPhoto doesn't "like" being told to hide during launch??
