Looking at that code, it does indeed call TrackerLaunch from FSUtils
which tries to do the launch work itself, unless you call it with
async = true (which Deskbar does), in which case it tries to post it
directly to the async launch looper, which is running in Tracker.
Since it accesses that directly by pointer, that can't work when
invoked via Deskbar in its current form. By the looks of it r35351 may
have broken that if it did previously work.
