How to run an X11 app as a normal icon on the dock?

How to run an X11 app as a normal icon on the dock?
I don't want to have to go through the X11 app than up to the command, etc. I want it to run as a normal osx app

I've only got one X11 application, Wireshark. I have its icon on my dock -- I just dragged it to there from its location in the Finder. When I click on it (Wireshark's dock icon), X11 starts, then Wireshark starts inside X11's environment. Have you tried doing it that way with your app, or is Wireshark's behavior in that regard just a different animal from all the other X11 apps that are out there for Mac?

  • How do I get my Cannon MG 5300 PRINTER ICON ONTO THE DOCK?

    I accidently removed the ICON from the DOCK. Now I cannot find a way to get it back.
    Also, I have Cannon Applications under Cannon Utilities, including the Solution Menu which the tech didn't think I needed to load. But I seem unable to set the paper to print photos, etc. So should I load the Solutions Manual so I have access to the applications?

    system preferences - print and scan - you'll see your printer on the left side - click it and drag it to your dock.

  • How about a "Show Incompatible App Updates" option same as in the Mac App Store?

    How about a “Show Incompatible App Updates” option same as in the Mac App Store?
    I want un-installable app updates from being displayed in Updates.  These updates require iOS 6.0 or later and cannot be installed on my original iPad that still runs 5.1.1 and cannot use 6.0.

    We are not employees or representatives of Apple. We are just users like yourself. Your idea does seem interesting though. Send feed back to Apple here

  • How can i share purchased apps between 2 diff users on the same mac?

    How can I share purchased apps between 2 diff users on the same mac?

    A purchased app is associated with an Apple ID. A user with a different Apple ID cannot use the app unless they also use the same Apple ID.
    I cannot use my wife's apps nor she mine because each were purchased with different Apple IDs.

  • X11 icon in the dock

    Hello all
    Anybody out there know how to start Gimp without the X11 icon showing in the dock???????????
    Thanks

    You can get the icon to not show up in the dock (and therefore also lose the menu bar) if you do this:
    a. Edit the Info.plist file in /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents
    b. Put in the lines just above the penultimate line that reads </dict>:
    <key>LSUIElement</key>
    <string>1</string>
    c. Save the changes. Then issue the following (1 line) command:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A\ /Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister \ -f /Applications/Utilities/X11.app

  • Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

  • How Can I Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

    Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

    Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
    After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
    After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
    Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
    This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
    Hope this helps!

  • White number in red circle in Apps Icon in the dock

    There is a number (white number in red circle) in AppsStore Icon in the dock. What does this mean and how do I get rid of this?

    Hello:
    In answer to your question, I don't know.  However, drag the app store icon out of the dock.  Then drag the app store icon from your application folder to the dock.

  • How to put back the icons in the dock

    My 3-year old son accidentally deleted the icons on the dock of my ipad.  where do i get the icons for settings, safari, mail and gallery and how do i put it back in the dock?
    thanks.

    They can't be deleted. They can be moved by holding one until they wiggle. Look on other pages or in any folders created by putting one app on top of another one. You can also go to settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout to return the app layout to the original look.

  • How do I stop my MacBook removing all my icons from the desktop ?

    How do I stop my MacBook removing all my icons from the desktop ?

    Hi Matt
    After I create say a word document, file it on my desktop and then shut down my machine. The next time I open up the MacBook the file icon has been removed from the desktop. I can still retrieve the file in a folder labeled with the month I created it. But why has the OS removed it from the desktop and how can I stop it happening?
    It happens to alias icons as well!

    I did a force close on Safari and after rebooting my macbook pro, i no longer see the Safari icon on the dock.  How do i get i back?

    If you can't get dragging to work, just click on Safari from your Applications folder, and it should appear in the dock. Then you can right-click on the icon and PIN it permanently there.

  • How do I get an iCloud icon onto the dock for my MacBook Pro?

    I assume the easiest way to access iCloud is by putting an icon onto my MacBook Pro DOCK.   Is this correct?  And if it is, how do I install the icon onto the Dock?

    There is no iCloud application, therefore no iCloud icon. Think of it as a 'service' that is accessible thru other applications, preferences and devices.
    If you use the iCloud web site a lot, you could add an icon to the web site.

  • Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms

    Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock on my desktop Mac. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms. I have tried searching folders, finder and trash

    Your Downloads folder should be in your Home folder. Just drag it to the Dock.
    If you've managed to delete it, try creating a new folder called 'Downloads'. You will probably need to nominate it in Safari or any other browser preferences as your download destination. (Safari Preferences>General, 'Save downloaded items to:' menu)
