Harold,
In many applications, the Exit? box is modal and AOT, which is fine,
because it's not expected to stay on the screen for a long time. Thus, it
doesn't need a taskbar entry, IMO.
That is an alternative.
The situation is different with the About

Part of me wonders if our About box and possibly our Exit box should get
taskbar entries... without them they are easy to lose behind other
windows and then they are difficult to retrieve. What do you think?

By all means, please just commit code that does blue links in the dialog

If it's nitpicky stylistic issues you're after
The X icon at the top left of both the About... dialog and the Cygwin/X
Exit? dialog is different to the X icon at the top left of other
programmes' windows, such as xterm. The one on the about and exit dialogs
is a little uglier than the other.
