Hi Ben-

I think the key you are looking for is LSUIElement (and the value is 1), not LSBackgroundOnly

HTH!

I have an app that needs to run as a background process. It has preference UI that can be accessed from a prefPane, but requires no UI for normal functionality. From time to time, it may be necessary to present a window or panel to the user to provide him with some information. Similar to the way the bluetooth daemon works, or when sync services asks you about conflicts. Setting the LSBackgroundOnly in the Info.plist appropriately runs the app without a dock icon, but it seems to suppress any windows that I want to display. Does anyone know how to work around this? Thanks,

Ben
