Well, mea culpa, I have not been speaking clearly; what I want to
badge is not the dock tile but the dock icon, and I cannot find a way
to get at the view for that, so as to install a special class: The
interface seems to be through NSApp:applicationIconImage and
NSAPP:setApplicationIconImage: So there I am, back messing with bit
maps to modify an image.
I would welcome a better way.

Subclassing NSView is not a big deal. Just override -drawRect, draw
the image you want, and draw the badge on top of it.
You've basically tried to reimplement the Quartz compositor. :)
Yep. As usual with Cocoa, if something seems really hard and
complicated to do, you're probably doing it wrong. This is especially
true if you are relatively new to Cocoa development.
Don't fight the framework!
