I'd like to clarify what I said before.
What you want to do is not what input managers were intended for. In
fact, what you want to do would go beyond the efforts of most input
manager haxies, because it would involve replacing window server or
Dock functionality. There are a lot of very serious questions that
arise: How do you trap minification? What happens to Carbon windows?
What if multiple users are logged in? And so on.
In general, this list does not support discussion of code injection
because it leads to headaches. Not too long ago, we received a
support request from a user who experienced a crash in one of our apps
after clicking "the pencil". There is no pencil in this app. It
turns out "the pencil" was part of a menu-editing haxie. We lost out
on this because it cost us time to track down what was going on, and
the user lost out because we had to inform them that it was someone
else's problem and we couldn't assist.
As far as not liking how the Dock does things, that's perfectly
understandable. You're certainly not alone. :) The best you can do,
though, it file a Radar.
