In response to Kevin's question:
I have a RR application witch is launched (created) from inside another (similar to open process). However, I do not want it to have a Task-Bar, Dock, GTK Doc icon. In fact I do not want the user to be aware of it's presents graphically in any way (ps and process viewer is fine). How is this accomplished in RR for 3 platforms at this time Windows OS X and Linux?

Here's message I posted on the last last summer describing how to do this for OS X. I suspect each platform will have its own procedure.

Ken Ray has this tip posted on his Web Site (http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/metacard/tips/proc003.htm)

To hide an application process in OS X, open the Info.plist file in the Contents folder of the application package. Add this to the <dict> section (it doesn't seem to matter where):
<key>NSBGOnly</key> <string>1</string>
Doing this will remove the process from the Dock, and from any menus that list active (visible) processes. To show it again, you can either put in a 0 instead of a 1 for the <key>, or you can remove the whole thing.

I tried it and it didn't work, then I noticed in the mail list archive that this apparently was broken in Panther. I searched Apple Developer web site and discovered that the name of the key has been changed to LSUIElement.
So insert the following to create a faceless application (one that doesn't appear in Force Quit list or in Dock):
<key> LSUIElement </key> <string>1</string>
It's best to use the Property List Editor application to do this rather than a text editor.
