Hello,
I usually run workrave with the main window above all others, to see the times all the time. However, the pager and taskbar hints are not set so this is annoying with I cycle through my windows (because I have no reason to select it).

Could you please add an option to add those hints to make it disappear from the cycling list and taskbar ?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is the right way to do this.

I think it is cleaner to tell you window manager that it should not put Workrave in the taskbar/pager. Compiz can do this if you enable the 'Windows Rules' plugin and add 'class=Workrave' to 'Skip taskbar' and 'Skip pager' (or click the '+' button, the grab button and finally click on the workrave window).

well I think it would be better to have the option. For one, XFCE doesn't offer such an option (or i'm not aware of it) and i think those hints are here for this exact reason : to have a window open all the time without interfering with the rest. For example my gkrellm window has the same behaviour, except that it's always below other apps.

Adds options for "skip pager hint" "skip taskbar hint" and "undecorated window" for the main window

I finally got around writing a real patch for this wishlist item.
Please find it attached (against git 20bc37c81525a08499c6a4d88a74d185179fb4bb).

It's probably not perfect (particularly regarding win32 compat), but I hope it is good enough to be included in some form.
