OK, but not the answer I was hoping for.

Presumably "Application" is needed early on in the piece.  What I'm
trying to work out is, if I override Application then which order does 
        
        gb.Application._Init()
               ^
               |
        gb.qt4.Application._Init()
               ^
               |
        (my) Application.Init()

get executed.

Why? Because my override is dependent on some of the gb.Application
statics. Therefore I need it to execute "after" the
gb.Application._Init, so that I can access these static properties
without having to implement a late static "StartMeUp" method in my
project's Main method to set the static Properties I want.

What's even worse is that what I really,really want is
my.Application._Init to be executed after some gb.db.***._Init()'s  have
occurred.  But I think that is not possible.

If you could just clarify the execution order of the inheritance chain
_Init()'s I might find a way around the (nefarious) things I'm trying to
do?
