In my recent post, "kicking off app from a service" I was overly
verbose and didn't express my question well, so, I'm going to try to
be briefer and ask it better:

I want my application to be kicked off as a background task.  I
already have a master service (written by others but can be configured
to add new applications to it) that can kick-off my application in the
background.

And, I think I can find a single instance component that will active
the running task so that it can get at the user interface.

I'm thinking this should work, unless there is an issue about not
allowing a task run as a background task to be activated as a
foreground task.  I guess I just need to try it out.
