I've not looked at all on the linux desktop integration stuff, I think Ti's 
the expert on that.

It's a harder problem on Linux, as it is less likely that the user is going 
to be able to effect changes on the Linux side. However, we may be able to 
do something with keeping the "right" hostname to be set in one of the AG 
config files, and ensuring that the local process environment is configured 
correctly before any calls are done. (something else for the app-init step).
