I have some code for getting this to work in a Cocoa app (which is what  
SDL apps on the Mac are) discussed here:  
[http://www.idevgames.com/forum/showthread.php?p=70473&posted=1#post70473](http://www.idevgames.com/forum/showthread.php?p=70473&posted=1#post70473)

I’m wondering how to get this into SDL correctly so that it will behave  
properly by copying SDL’s openGL context correctly so it will show in  
the Dock. Is there a generic way to do this for every SDL app that can  
be added to SDL? Is there a way to implement this on a project by  
project basis?

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,  
Aaron
