New issue 8044 by [email protected]: Mac multi-process Cocoa and rendering  
bringup
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8044

In WebKit, Chromium uses Cocoa rendering when possible for UI elements  
(e.g. <input
type="button" value="clickme"/>).  To use Cocoa rendering, we need an  
NSApplication.  If we have
an NSApplication, we have a dock icon.

We don't want a dock icon for the render processes.  Currently,  
http://codereview.chromium.org/27108 works around this by disabling dock  
icons en masse, then
enabling them only for the browser.  This has problems; e.g. the dock  
bounce while waiting for an
app to launch is now completely gone.  Nevertheless, things "work" enough  
to continue.

The right answer, probably, is to eliminate use of Cocoa in Chromium's  
WebKit theme.   This bug
will track such efforts.
