 Actually, thinking of this, we can probably completely drop 
_NET_WM_HANDLED_ICONS. If a window has _NET_WM_ICON_GEOMETRY, it's obvious 
that there is a taskbar somewhere - and _NET_WM_HANDLED_ICONS doesn't provide 
anything more. Maybe it could be made a selection allowing its owner to set 
_NET_WM_ICON_GEOMETRY though.
