I have had some time to test this now.

If the gtk port is built against gtk2 +quartz or gtk3 +quartz, then the app icon should be shown, and works correctly.

if the gtk port is built agains gtk2 +x11 or gtk3 +x11, then the app icon should be hidden as it will bounce forever otherwise.


I wonder if there is some elegant way to make this happen across the board without specifying a +x11 and +quartz variant individually for every port. 

I suspect there is not, and these variants are exactly what we would need to do for each port to make this work right.

Any ideas?
