-'at' connects to the registry as an event listener, then queries the service for the number of virtual desktops (currently always 0 or 1), and queries each desktop for the accessible applications it is running. It then prints out the name of each such application (as reported by the application's accessibility interfaces), and then waits to receive events.

-'app' connects to the registry as an application, then dispatches an event which the registry should relay to all registered listeners. Thus instances of 'app' run after 'at' should cause the 'at' instances to receive events.
