Oh yeah. You are not recognized as a Carbon application unless you 
have a plist (or the older 'carb' resource). Without it, Carbon won't 
initialize certain things, including things necessary to properly 
handle events & the GUI (hence the problems you were seeing). I think 
(part of) the reason is that there are parts of Carbon that you might 
want to call from command-line tools or other programs which are not 
bona-fide Carbon apps, without having to initialize the whole thing.

Bottom line, I don't think there is another way to do it: you need a 
plist. The alternative is between using a 'plst' resource, or setting 
up an application bundle.
