Suppossedly, there is a way yo manually set all these paramenters via
scripting, but I don't really know how to do it.

However, I use a program called Devilspie, which monitors windows and sets
their parameters (stacking, behavior, etc.) based on an XML configuration
file. With it, I was able to make XMMS skip the tasklist and taskbar. Also
I was able to make some programs stay on top, or in the background.

I couldn't find a homepage anywhere, but there are plenty RPM and DEB
packages out there on the net.
