The problem with the "OnlyShowIn" approach is that it is going to create a really odd user experience. Should the app show up in the Launcher? What about the application spread? What if someone pins it on the launcher? Providing something that is both an application in some states but not others is only a route to confusing the user.

Along with that, it's really not where we want to go long term. We want to move towards more helpers and less applications for this type of functionality. It breaks the architecture that we're trying to build. I think that CI Train has taught us how long "temporary fixes" can burn us :-)

Perhaps there is a middle ground on trusted session splash screens where it could be at least a black screen so the user can tell *something* is happening.
