It seems to me that starting e.g. xemacs from the minicli doesn't
honor the MapNotify=false flag. There appears the right icon (the gnu)
but it will stay until end of timeout.

Also, when starting KDE, there is the unknown executable icon (the
gear) which stays next to the mouse pointer until timeout.

But nevertheless: Thanks for doing this all, even if it's not totally
my type of stuff, it's probably very useful to many other users.. :-)
