[Mono-osx] How to hide mono and windows form in Mac Dock

[James O.]

The dock is similar to the task bar on Windows 7, but it shows all programs
that are running, regardless of whether or not they have windows up. So if I
have a running app, but hide all of my Windows, the app is still running and
the icon is still in the Dock. Super annoying.

I'm using GTK# on Mac, so ShowInTaskbar isn't actually a property I can use.
I tried what is supposed to be its equivalent ( SkipTaskbarHint ) but I had
no luck with that either.

Since no one anywhere seems to know how to hide the Dock icon while using a
Mono application, I will probably file this as a bug. However, I see other
bugs that I experience in the list that are nearly two years old and still
filed as "new". Such as this one...

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477871

I seems like Mac is pretty far from a high priority platform for Mono. Why
is that?
