OS X style dock

[Rob H]

Hi,
What do other people think about having optional OS X
style dock behaviour in KDE?

In OS X, when you close all the windows of an
application, the application itself does not usually
close. The application keeps running and the dock
indicates this.
To close the application you have to click file|quit,
or press mac-q.

I propose an option to enable this functionality in
KDE.

If the option is disabled, applications will cease
running when all windows have been closed.

If the option is enabled, any applications that have
been appropriately modified will continue to run when
all its windows have been closed. Clicking the
appropriate icon on the panel would create a new
window for the application.

If an application has not been appropriately modified,
the application should cease running when all windows
are closed. OS X does this.

I believe that this dock behaviour is one of the great
strengths of OS X.

I'm interested in views others may have. If you reply,
please indicate your level of experience with OS X.

Where are feature requests generally discussed?

cheers,
Rob
