wmctrl, xdootool, xatk etc...
Most users rare use SKIP_TASKBAR hint and never use it for windows
that can be iconified. If user do this, he know what he do.

Unwanted place expense. Especially if these windows have ALL_DESKTOP
location.
Technically this feature implement only one line in the
focus_valid_target():
(ft->iconic && !ft->parents) ||
I think the good solution is global config key as
<ForceIconifiedInList> with the "yes" default value (for compatibility).
