Is there any way to keep an application from displaying an icon in the dock on Mac OS X?

Answer 1

Only the way mentioned in the linked topic, i.e. you will lose your application menu and the entry in the Cmd-Tab application switcher. The behavior is similar to all applications that allow you to do this via a preference, you never get a menu without a Dock icon.
