Whassat accomplish?

So the blank idle loop is just there to keep the stay-open applet open.

I wasn't aware you needed an idle loop to keep a stay-open applet open.
Is not the little checkbox enough?

Hmm, you're right about that. With or without the idle handler the stay-open applet stays open.

Dunno then, maybe its there just because... :-)


Perhaps the idea is that the applet does not need to be stay-open, and then intent was to have it stay open for 60 seconds while the system checked to see if dock.app was still running (assuming the system checks only once for the presence of dock.app running). But wouldn't a delay statement be more appropriate there?
