Was this maybe a bug in Tiger?  I have the exact opposite problem?  I  
can't figure out how to make LaunchServices NOT register a .app that  
is in my development space or DISTROOT... I can't tell you how many  
times I've had a problem because LaunchServices preferred /Users/ 
jeremy/src/freedesktop/pkg/X11/Applications/Utilities/X11.app over / 
Applications/Utilities/X11.app
