Larry, I think the OP was referring to the *Windows* taskbar, not the one
provided by one of the X window managers (e.g., Gnome). The phrasing is
confusing as well, especially the part that says "e.g. xterm or a native
windows application" -- does this mean that this is reproducible for him
even with native Windows apps? If so, it's a Windows bug and has nothing
to do with X.
FWIW, the OP didn't provide details of his OS, nor how X was run (i.e.,
multiwindow, rootless, rooted), nor which window manager he was running
(in the rootless/rooted mode). I've just tried to and couldn't reproduce
this problem on WinXP with X running in either multiwindow or rootless
(twm, fvwm) mode.
