One thing that would be really nice is to allow applications to define
icons to be used in the pager. Then it's much easier to switch tasks
(ie. without reading the small text). KDE implements this, but how do
they implement it? Does KWM recognize applications, or is there a
function in the KDE libraries that allows the app to call an icon.

Is there any way to implement this as clean as possible?
