With the earlier approach of setting `LSUIElement` that is guaranteed to be the case.
I just checked; launching Qt's Assistant with \
`QT_MAC_DISABLE_FOREGROUND_APPLICATION_TRANSFORM=1` all that changes is that the \
application remains in the background; it can be brought into the foreground, and it \
retains its presence in the Dock and app switcher.
IOW, I'm not really sure I understand why kded5 doesn't retain that presence with \
`QT_MAC_DISABLE_FOREGROUND_APPLICATION_TRANSFORM` set. It's possible that all the \
env. variable does is postpone the actions that lead to that presence. If that's true \
than we'd have to come back to the more appropriate previous revision of this patch.
OTOH: the only dialogs I have seen under KDE4 that are related to kded (unknown cert) \
were posted when kded4 was *not* running. Ditto for cookie related things. Under what \
circumstances is kded supposed to present a GUI?
