Well the one that "represents the X applications" *is* the X server.
I realise that. I was asking 'does it help if we were to change that?' 1) Have something else represent the X applications 2) Have a seperate program (maybe w/o an icon?) for the Xserver Then we have two ways in which things get started: 1) Automatic (no manual start of Xquartz, so no icon for it per-se) 2) Manual (so an actual Dock icon for the server, and the existing one for the 'Apps') The only reason I suggest this is that i've a vague memory of the server code playing games to fake out the Dock's view of which program is in the forground when an actual X appliation is running. Output by the Xserver when it's in the background would not be an issue, the only difficulty is getting k/b input. One could simply have the 'X app program' feed such to the server say XTEST, or via some other back door channel. DF
