How do you add a dockapp? Presumably, there is some tool (e.g. to add an
item to the GNOME panel, there is a tool to select what I want) which
does this. Also, doesn't the app display an icon in the dock when it is
running?

If the answer to all of these questions is no, then you probably don't
need an icon. :)
