	I'll have to try that.

	I'm only interested in minimized icons for running windows.  What I
really prefer is an icon box like CDE has.  The xfce4-iconbox doesn't
work as well since it seems to grow with the number of icons in it and
it only grows in a column/row of one.  At least it did list time I
checked.
