Biju,

Of course it would be possible to not show the Cygwin/X window in the 
taskbar.  That's not really the problem (though it does help to have an 
example of how to do it).  The real problem is creating a complete 
solution and testing it.  You need to change the bahavior of the tray 
icon when the main window is hidden to make it bring the Cygwin/X window 
into focus when the icon is double-clicked (or some such).

Also, this should probably be an option that applies to more than just 
-nodecoration.  It should be a distinct option (perhaps -notaskbar) that 
applies to -fullscreen, -nodecoration, and the default modes. 
-multiwindow and -rootless should be unaffected.

Go forth and code such a patch!  :)

Harold
