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.
