Dockless Usage TipDoesn't play well with X11 on 10.5 - Version: 2.0.1, 9/28/2008 07:31PM PST

This is X11.app's fault, not Dockless, but I found out the hard way that the new X11.app does not behave well when Dockless tries to make it dockless. For example, launchd launching no longer works.

I had used this previously to run the X11 server in the background, which I started on login on 10.4 and earlier.

X11 now "just works" whenever an X-windows program is launched. But the icon in the dock can be a bit irritating.

Dockless CommentaryVersion 2 won't run on my Mac - Version: 2.0.0, 9/21/2008 05:14PM PST

I've been using v1.3.3 for ages now, and it's always been great. But version 2 shows up with the circle/slash icon over it on my PPC iMac running 10.5.5. Not sure why it's "not supported on this architecture."
