There's also LSBackgroundOnly. That might be even more appropriate.
I doubt it -- the whole point of this mess was to allow apps full-on
desktop access.
Maybe we just need to return to the old python vs. pythonw distinction,
but with a different default -- have a python-no-gui option.
However, These changes don't seem to make any difference with my wx
tests - I suppose wx could be calling:
TransformProcessType() to override this setting and get
a dock icon for themselves.
Or I'm editing my info.plist wrong!
... setting it does have the side effect of making IDLE's menus
disappear when launched from the command line (bin/idle).
This is no OK -- it may be OK for IDLE itself, but when people are
testing an debugging GUI apps (TK, or wx, or....) they should be able to
start a simple script at the command line without any restrictions.
