That is certainly the easiest way. It is still odd to me that RunRev does
not to show a running app in the taskbar when it has no decorations. Older
versions of Revolution (way back in 2.x) would still show the program
running. Also strange is that an App menu was auto generated in 5.0.1
(Mac-like), then removed in 5.0.2, according to the OP. I have not tested
this.
