Unless I'm living in a parallel universe you still don't get X applications minimising to the dock with oroborosx: instead it implements a "mini-dock" of minimised windows (top left of screen by default), and also allows you to use "windowshade" via double clicking on the title bar of X app windows.


It's a great piece of work, and makes the installation of a working rootless X windows setup for OSX incredibly painless. Definitely recommended for anyone who hasn't played with Xfree or the like on another platform, and still plenty of fun for those who have.


Cheers,
Paul

    Thanks Paul, you're exactly right. Though while oroborosx: windows don't minimize into dock icons, they do list in the dock's X icon pop-up and the Finder's Windows menu.
