I had looked at the module and the problem was that even requiring it
started the gui stuff, but taking a closer look I found a solution.
(module helper racket/base
(module inner-helper racket/base
(require ffi/unsafe)
(require mred/private/wx/common/once)
(void (scheme_register_process_global "PLT_IS_FOREGROUND_APP"
(get-ffi-obj "main" #f _pointer))))
(require 'inner-helper mred/private/wx/cocoa/init))
(require 'helper)
It seems like this could be made simpler, but it works for me now. Thanks
for the pointer.
