If it does not use "another queue" but the one provided by the fpc RTL 
(i.e. does not install it's own queue), and (obviously) does not use a 
queue that is related to a GUI, it does not provide a queue art all.

So it does not provide an Event-Handling infrastructure and this (in 
according to my terms) means it is not a ("Delphi Style") application, 
hence not a "Service Application".

This is what I assumed (and heard from those who tried it): It only 
provides for compiling but does not offer any functionality.

If your intention is to say that just using the name NoGUI and 
"silently" update it to something that is "active" (and with that a 
"Service Application") would be more sensible than creating a newly 
named  Widget Type / Application Type, I don't have any problems with 
that. I just though of a new name to prevent the possibility to break 
any existing code.
