 And it gets even worse when the application under cursor is busy and doesn't 
repaint oftern enough, in such case I get a lot of icons :(. My X has save 
under disabled for some reason, and I don't know how to turn it on, any ideas?
But feel free to write a better hack. I think such hack is still better than 
nothing at all.
 WRT animation, it has to be done also in the application, and if the icon 
lags for you, it will be even worse with animation. Just look at the taskbar, 
here it looks terrible sometimes ( but it's also because it falls back to the 
'unknown' icon with the question mark, and I think the taskbar does way too 
many unnecessary repaints ).
