Preventing Services from activating your application

I failed to find any way to do this via the internets; but gdb, and some kindly soul inside Apple, met the challenge:

(gdb) b -[NSUserDefaults objectForKey:]

Breakpoint 17 at 0x94172fa4

(gdb) c

Continuing.

... invoke service, hit breakpoint ...

(gdb) po *(id *)($fp + 16)

NSShouldActivateForServiceRequest

(gdb)

Is there a better way to do this? Google and mdls don't seem to know about NSShouldActivateForServiceRequest at all, so I'm guessing not.
