Nope, you've missed nothing.  Sawmill is kindof made to work with GNOME, so
you're expected to use the GNOME taskbar.  If you REALLY want an icon box (icky
things), try Enlightenment, since it has that and a lot of other features you
won't need.  ;-)

You could write an add-on for Sawmill if you wish.  I'm sure lots of people would
like that.  Or possibly create an application for GNOME that did that... You
could take the tasklist and remove the applet specific stuff and ya, modify it
slightly... ya...

Would any of the GNOME people like to give that a try?  If people like icon
boxes, but don't want the bloat of E, it'd be a good project!  :)
