Remove icons from the Dock in Mountain Lion
Removing icons *for unopened apps* was no big mystery to me...but after this morning's upgrade to Mountain Lion, what's irking ME is that some apps which offer the option to have their icons not appear in the dock (i.e., to keep them from filling up the dock because they're just open all the time on my computer) seem to no longer be able to force this to happen.

What you are describing is having an application run in the background. This usually requires a special setting, and isn't something that can be accomplished merely by dragging an icon out of the dock. The developer has to implement this in order for it to be made possible. (Well, unless you want to hack the Info.plist inside the application bundle yourself, which will break the code signature on the application.)

Thanks for the explanation and clarification. My issue was/is that apps which previously ran as "hidden" from the the dock (but not actually "hidden" since I could see them on my desktop) seem to not necessarily be able to still do so in Mountain Lion. I'm guessing it will be up to individual developers to patch these issues... |
