What context is your "launchd process" running in?  Is it a daemon or 
an agent?  If it's an agent, what type of agent (see Table 1 in 
TN2083 for the list of options)?

I would only expect this to work from a GUI launchd agent.  Daemons 
and other agents run outside of the GUI login context, and thus can't 
safely display UI.
