There is Mac OS X specific code to convert AppleEvents to a commandline and we should do the same for Windows DDE. Another option that I actually prefer is to remove the need to restart during startup entirely though I doubt that is realistic at this time.

We could then make our DDE implementation not convert the url part for WWW_OpenURL into separate command line arguments which would have prevented bug 384384. This would also fix several of the OS Integration bugs we have with opening links handed to us from the OS.

This bug is now wontfix since we are moving towards disabling DDE. Also, with Bug 491947 landed we no longer ise DDE for OS integration.
