Okay. Um... Put bluntly, I'm trying to "reinvent" the Dock. Many have
done this before but I'm just barely using Apple's Dock as a template.

So, I'll get the notification that an app has been launched and it'll
go in my dock. Then, if a user right-clicks on an app the app's "Dock
Menu" should pop up.

Also, if I can get the NSApplication of apps I'll use their main
windows to display a window as the desktop "image."

I don't want alternative ways to solve each problem individually
because I have other uses for getting the NSApplication of a running
app.

I'll give you a hint to get you started: BootstrapDump

Put even more bluntly, if the hint doesn't make perfect sense, then the majority of the programming tasks you will face in developing your app are going to be beyond your current level of expertise in Mac OS X. :(

Good luck!  ;)
