Perhaps there should be a new thread but I just noticed some oddball
behavior with this 3.3.990 openbox (in stock confguration) and
libwnck-based pagers/tasktray and GTK+2 apps (vim, gaim, firefox,
VMware, ROX-Filer, whatever... but not xmms or xterm):

The easiest way to reproduce this is to open just one GTK+2 app (e.g.
Firefox) on a desktop then minimize it and observe your libwnck pager
and tasktray (in my case, ROX-Pager and ROX-TaskTray).  Neither the
pager or the tasktray are updated to show the minimized state (well,
the Pager will, when the mouse goes over it).  Left-clicking the
TaskTray icon doesn't un-minimize the window either; it has to be
alt-tabbed to or rick-click the TaskTray icon and select "show".

Gkrellm's "do not include on a taskbar" and "do not include on a
pager" options are not honored, either.

This behavior didn't occur w/ openbox 3.3.1, and considering the
amount of code changed in this latest openbox version (which is
awesome, regardless!), I suspect something awry there...
