Nobody ever writes to gAppMessageWindowName: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=regexp%3AgAppMessageWindowName%5CW&redirect=false

That nsDependentString looks like maybe it was intended to forward the write, but it doesn't.

If this were up to me I'd just remove the variable and associated code because, hey, that's what we've been shipping for years. Jim, any objection?

I suppose we could also try make the logic work correctly. If so, I'll leave that for someone else to do!

I think we want to fix this, the native app window can process command line data in response to a Windows message.
