Clicking on the Dock sends a 'reopen' Apple Event. AppKit's default  
response is to call [[[NSApplication sharedApplication] delegate]  
applicationShouldHandleReopen:hasVisibleWindows:], and then continues  
to the open-untitled-document machinery if it returns YES. So try  
this: implement -applicationShouldHandleReopen:hasVisibleWindows: in  
X11Controller, summon the windows forward, and return NO. (I don't  
think reopen interacts with -application:openFile:, but be careful.)

cmd-tab doesn't go through here. I'm not sure what path it takes.
