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
