[Xquartz-dev] Re: Making Xquartz work with the Dock (and XDMCP)

[Ben Byer]

Again, that's more or less what I tried, and ran into this weird dock  
issue, which I currently don't know how to solve.  Specifically, the  
issue is that if you have the same .app launch twice within some short  
period of time (one second?), the dock icon will disappear.

So, we'll have to figure out how to work around that problem.
