Well, kind of brokenly. A group is a main window plus dialogs, but the
task list doesn't include dialogs; so, this issue has somewhat gone
away, in that the right fix is to do tasklist groups based on window
class instead of window group.

At least that's my opinion right now.

The group leader's icon/title becomes relatively unimportant if we go
this route; the main point of a group then becomes to affect stacking
order (windows with no transient parent are taken as transient for the
group) and maybe other WM policies.
