Taskbar, pager and urgency GtkWindow hints...

["Freddie Unpenstein" <fredderic excite com>]

Greetings peoples of the gtk-app-devel list...

I have an application that creates a small borderless window containing an "always below" icon, with the 
taskbar and pager skip hints turned on so it doesn't show anywhere except where it's put on the desktop.

I'd like it to occasionally appear in the taskbar, with the urgency hint on, so it flashes visible.  The 
urgency hint works just fine as long as the window is listed in the taskbar, but the skip hints onto seem to 
take effect at initial window creation.


I think I read a discussion on here about that at one stage, though I can't for the life of me find it.  I'm 
wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how get this to work?  Ultimately, I'd like to be able to click 
either the icon itself (which itself flashes) or the nice flashing taskbar item (the urgency hint), to 
signify that I'm responding to the urgent status (eg. by watching for the window receiving focus).


Help would be appreciated...  This thing SHOULD work, and it's bugging me as to why it doesn't.  :)
