No, there is no such combination of flags.
How do you intend to set the focus to Cygwin/XFree86 without a taskbar entry? I mean, you could minimize it and not be able to get it back.
In the future, when we write the Windows-based window manager, I intend to make Cygwin/XFree86 use a system tray icon rather than a taskbar icon, but only when using the Windows-based window manager.
Now, from the perspective of building a correct application, can't you see that it would be incredibly non-standard of us to allow Cygwin/XFree86 to not have a taskbar icon? No other Windows application that needs to be minimized/restored/closed has that behavior. Typically, only applications that are either closed or open are in the system tray. Can you see my point? I suppose you could code such a feature if you wanted that did not change the default behavior, but I'm not sure how much use it would be to others...

Hi,
Please forgive my creative capitalization in the Subject line.
I had hoped that using "-nodecoration" with "-rootless" would prevent the XWin server getting a taskbar icon, but alas, no.
Is there a combination of options or a configuration file or environment setting that will suppress the taskbar icon in rootless mode?
Oh, yeah... Rootless Rocks!
