some examples of the behaviour:
start a new program, its icon will be shown in the taskbar, minimize and 
restore and its icon will be gone 
if you make just show tasks of the current desktop and start a program that 
incorrectly shows up in the taskbar switching desktop back and forth the entry 
will disappear

but really didn't spend much time looking at the why :)
