[Glass] tracking down errors that occur in FastCGI gems but not GemTools or tODE.

[Dale Henrichs]

Since things work in GemTools/tODE, I am suspicious of code in GLASS that
detects whether or not you are running with a GUI attached .. The following
methods are used for those types of tests:

  MCPlatformSupport class>>gemToolsActive
  OBGemStonePlatform class>>canConfirm
  OBGemStonePlatform class>>canInform

A quick pass through senders of these method doesn't reveal anything
interesting to me though ...

I seem to recall some monkey business with synching your timezone to the
system and it seems that a call of some sort is needed, but I don't recall
offhand  ...

Finally there is code that gets triggered during session startup
(SystemLoginNotification class>>sessionStart) ... but that code is not
specific to GemTools/tODE ....

I'll dig around in the time zone code for inspiration, but put this out
there in case this rings the bell for someone else ...
