You can add a line of code to rox pager to make it set skip_taskbar on 
itself (in main.c):

@@ -260,7 +261,11 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv)

 	g_signal_connect(toplevel, "destroy",
 			 G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);

+	gtk_window_set_skip_pager_hint(GTK_WINDOW(toplevel),TRUE);
+	gtk_window_set_skip_taskbar_hint(GTK_WINDOW(toplevel),TRUE);
 	frame = gtk_frame_new(NULL);
 	gtk_frame_set_shadow_type(GTK_FRAME(frame), GTK_SHADOW_IN);
 	gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(toplevel), frame);
