Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:1 mcs]:
 > Kathy and I did some experimentation yesterday. If we make a call to
 TransformProcessType() early during the startup process to hide the dock
 icon, the icon never appears in the dock but the animation to make room
 for it does begin. Here is what it looks like (notice how the Safari icon
 is briefly nudged to the left):

 other people may disagree). The other problem is that the
 TransformProcessType() call does not work on Mac OS 10.6, so users will
 see two dock icons on 10.6.

 Yeah, it doesn't look too bad. I think we can live with it.

 For visual comparison, here's how it looked when I tried
 TransformProcessType in #11429. It might have been OS X 10.7?
