NSWindow setMiniwindowImage seems to do nothing

Sorry to bother the list with this question again but
I am stuck.

For the aesthetic charm that such a feaure offers, I
want to have a custom image displayed for my document
window while it sits miniaturized in the dock. All
evidence in the documentation points to this being
possible, but my attempts thus far have failed.

Has anyone managed to do this successfully?

You need to set a default, which you can do in the
context of your app
by registering it at startup. From the AppKit release
notes:

There is a user default, AppleDockIconEnabled, to
enable setting the image in a minimized window tile
with -[NSWindow setMiniwindowImage:]. The image will
be scaled as necessary to fit the tile. This behavior
is
off by default, so you must set AppleDockIconEnabled
to YES if you want to enable this behavior.

Fair enough. So, I added this to my app delegate's
applicationDidFinishLaunching() implementation.

NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults =
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults();

NSDictionary dict = new NSDictionary("YES",
"AppleDockIconEnabled");
standardUserDefaults.registerDefaults(dict);




NSWindow setMiniwindowImage still seems to do nothing.
Can someone point out what I may have overlooked?

Thanks,
Dan
