Not a lot of people know this but the recent version of Chrome supports running any web-page as its own app. Try it out from Settings [wrench icon] > Tools > Create Application Shortcut. It's great for todo apps or gmail. I know it works on Windows. The link seems to be grayed out in my OSX box for some reason.

Its not just the recent versions, it's done this for windows since it's first public release.

As you said, not in OS X.

They are working on it in theory, though I'm not sure what is taking so long: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13148

There's a simple AppleScript which lets you do it though. I'm not on my Macbook otherwise I'd leave a link.
