This issue has been happening to me quite a few times lately and started about a week before the 10.6.3 update was released. Everything works fine, and then all of a sudden, I come to open an app, the app opens, but the dock icon doesn't display the app as open.
Right now, I have Safari and Adium running, no white dot under their icons in the dock. I've tried re-adding the shortcuts to the dock, same issue. I've also tried relaunching Finder. FInder relaunches but when control-right clicking on the finder icon, it says that it's not responding. Sometimes Finder would actually crash and others i can continue to use my Mac until I'm fed up and reboot. After a reboot, all works well for a while, then.... It all happens again after a while.
I've used Onyx and run the entire automations scripts (fix permission, delete cache,.....) I've even repaired the HDD volume with the mac disc yesterday... Woke up to see that my mac is running Adium and Safari without the dock showing those apps are active....... If right click on the Adium icon, it says 'Open', as if the app wasn't already.
I'm a pretty advanced user, I just can't figure this one out. Tried google, nothing. Can anyone help me 😟

Problem: macOS Dock is the command center for your Mac.With Apple Dock you can run applications, switch between apps, open documents and links. Unfortunately, Apple Dock lacks many useful features such as Window Management and Switching between Windows, appearance Customization, Hiding app icons. Trying this with TeamViewer and I cant seem to make it work. The first method I tried was by text editing.I opened package contents and tried to edit the info.plist file. It didn't allow me permiss.
