There does not seem to be a way to determine anything like an inherited
AppID when run from a jump list.
This makes things unnecessarily complicated. I'm adding the following to
the manual page as a note to option TaskCommands:
Note: To make the jump list persistent, it is necessary to carefully
apply additional tricks to satisfy the insane taskbar configuration
paradigm of Windows.
First, also configure a default taskbar icon command using options
AppName and AppLaunchCmd.
Second, choose a unique value for AppID and also add it to the (default)
launch command and all (jumplist) task commands.
Third, invoke mintty with the chosen AppID and option
--store-taskbar-properties.
