Are you sure this is the case? There are numerous applications that support 
swallowing. Some of them are quite small.
Right now I can't think of one though, I'll do some checking. 

We talked about this some years ago I remember doing some checking back then, 
the ones that I have seen are derived from WindowMakers dockapps.
These apps export small bitmaps as windows, I think the approach is valid for 
us to.
