Getting the dock integrated into Workspace.app was only suggested
because this was how it was originally implemented in NeXTstep.

No it wouldn't if it is implemented like the Fiend in GWorkspace.app
where it can be turn on or off. I suggest either integrate the dock into
GWorkspace.app or have the dock and the Fiend and maybe "find file" (as
you suggested) as separate apps.
