How to get rid of the dock icon in any app.

It does, but the downside is that you can no longer get to the app's menus...

True, but...

In this app's case, I think there are only four relavant menu items:
  1. Preferences: Cmd-,
  2. Quit: Cmd-Q
  3. Help: Cmd-?
  4. Float: (no Cmd sequence)
Three have common shortcuts. Float stays set even after quitting and a quick trip to Interface Builder can add an appropriate shortcut sequence (A quick feedback to the creator wouldn't hurt, either). I like that it's not only hidden from the Dock, it doesn't show up in LiteSwitchX.
