  I have played around the tasklist.

  First I wanted the relief of the buttons to be GTK_RELIEF_NONE, and I
have find out that I have to hack netk-tasklist.c from libxfcegui4.
It would be great to define the relief property since a gtk resource
file, but it doesn't look doable.

  I have also figured out that the buttons have a widget name.  So as I
looked around resource files, I started playing with it, and I ended
with a blue color for the bg[ACTIVE] and a green color for the
bg[PRELIGHT].  Both colors are from the Tango Project guidelines.

  I find these colors nice.  What do you think about it?  Attached is my
gtkrc-2.0 file.  I have taken a screenshot[1], with the tasklist hack,
how do you like it?
