Well, I was working on launchers support for my applet Fancy Tasks that  
currently uses this library and I can say that I'm not sure if it's good  
idea to extend current library.
Launchers support is rather not small feature that could be added without  
preparation during one weekend, especially if you need to stuff it to  
library that wasn't designed to support this concept.
And there is also need to add support from applet side.
I was working on new library (concept described somewhere on this ML some  
months ago) that will replace libtaskmanager in my applet (it's easier to  
write new that fits than adding workarounds to make it work correctly with  
launchers etc.) but it's suspended currently (lack of time - studies and  
work).
