The taskbar item flashes when the program sets the URGENT hint on it's window.
So getting the flashing is really the program's responsibility, not the
taskbar's. It just responds to a request for notifying the user that the
program wants attention. (also, GAIM has a plugin for setting the URGENT hint)
