I'll look at it. The problemn is that NET_WM stores a stacking order only.
But most windows never reach the top of this stacking order, as they might have
dialog windows or the desktop might have stys-on-top windows (like kicker).

So it's a bit more tricky to find out whether the user might consider this window
to be on top and would like to iconify it. It's simply with focus follows mouse,
but with that focus-follows-mouse it#s likely that other windows get the focus
while the mouse moes all the way down from the window to the taskbar.
