no, blackbox was designed from the beginning to not have icons and we are not 
changing now

I definately believe there are users out there who want it.  But more 
importantly you want it.  It is very, very important to write software (like 
poetry, music, or other arts) for yourself first.  If you spend your time 
worrying if people will like your new song you are not devoting energy to 
making it the best song possible.

Not that I am aware of.

Fairly easy.  The netwm (ewmh) spec defines how icons are handled.  You will 
keep a list of open windows and receive an event when one of their states 
changes.
