Oddly it worked. I set LSUIElement in the Info.plist and the app UI works
without the Dock or task list icon.
However, doing that caused another weird problem - now my app launches multiple
instances of itself every time I double-click it. Remove the LSUIElement key
and that behavior goes away.
I think the runtime stuff on OS X was never really ready for prime-time.

Unfortunately that means that LSUIElement is _not_ what you want, because a
UIElement app can't have a menubar.
In short, if you have a menubar, you will have a Dock tile. If you don't want a
Dock tile, you can't have a menubar. The two are bound together.
