If you select "Always group tasks" in the Taskbar setup, does it still 
misplace the programs?  I frequently have a bunch of xterms and firefoxes 
open, and prefer that they not all be listed in the taskbar.  Grouping 
tasks means that you get something like "Xterm (3)" in the taskbar.  
Select that, and you get a list of the 3 open xterms.
