Vadim,

Thanks for the prompt response!

OK, but does wxMac (not using Cocoa) support wxTaskBarIcon (wxMac  
didn't even create a Makefile for the taskbar sample unless I added -- 
with-cocoa to the configure)?  Appearing in the OSX menu bar would be  
ideal, but appearing in the Dock is good enough.

Oh, and the buttons do appear in the taskbar sample on OSX -- I just  
needed to stretch the dialog, so that's not an issue anymore (silly me).

The reason I did this is that we need to keep our download image  
small (under 500k, not have to deliver any additional  
DLLs / .dylibs /.sos), so we link statically.  When I was evaluating  
Qt4, it looked very promising until I found out that Qt4 can only use  
the DLL versions of the MS CRT on Windows, which would require us to  
add those DLLs to our download image.

Regards,

John
