[Xquartz-dev] LSBackgroundOnly at runtime

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Hrm...  I tried this (needs to be in a separate C file due to type  
conflicts):

#include <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h>

int moveToForeground() {
     ProcessSerialNumber psn = { 0, kCurrentProcess };
     OSStatus returnCode = TransformProcessType(& psn,  
kProcessTransformToForegroundApplication);
     if( returnCode == 0) {
         //SetFrontProcess(&psn);
     }
     return (int)returnCode;
}

and called moveToForeground() before server_main().  this was added to  
Info.plist:
<key>LSBackgroundOnly</key>
<true/>


returnCode was 0 (success), but the app didn't show up in the dock.   
I'm thinking this just won't work and I'm willing to settle with the  
current situation for now (since it's still better than before)... but  
still not optimal...
