Hi,

thanks for those patches, but...

... I'm not sure if I like this.
However, it shouldn't matter too much what I like. Instead, this should be made
configurable, somehow. What would you think about sending in a patch instead
which adds a new line to the long lists of options at the beginning of
tasklist_label?

 local str_float = args.tasklist_floating or theme.tasklist_floating or "✈"

Woah, wtf? Encodings are evil and ugly.

I'm not sure if I'd associate that icon with "sticky" immediately. Someone on
IRC will ask "there is a black square in my tasklist, why?" ;-)
However, since I don't have any better ideas for an icon and I like the idea of
adding one for sticky, I'll push this if no one comes up with a better icon.

Could you change the first patch, turn [▪] into ▪ in the second patch and 
re-send?

Thanks,
Uli
