Hiding App-Icon

Dear board,
if you ever wanted to hide an Application-Icon from emerging in the Dock, here is how to do it...
Open the Package of your .App. Inside "Contents" there is an Info.plist. Open it with Property List Editor and add a line. Left you enter "LSUIElement", which changes to "Application is agent (UIElement)". On the right you check the checkbox to make it happen. VoilĂ . If you like to edit the Info.plist with your favorite text-editor, add this before the closing </dict>-tag.
<key>LSUIElement</key>
<true>
You redefine your Application to an Agent, which may be used without sitting in the Dock of the bay...
