I think I used to know this: is there a way to hide the Spell Catcher icon so that that it doesn't appear in the Dock when it's running?

No, not without seriously undesirable side-effects. You can hack the Info.plist and add LSUIElement, but be prepared for "strange things".

Any app that has a menubar should not be made bgonly or UIElement, as you won't get the correct menus when one of its windows becomes active. Not a big deal with the input method's UI, but very confusing with all the app's windows (of which there are far more).
