Ah! Thanks, that explanation makes much more sense than what you can
find on DefaultSummary, so maybe this should be added to, or maybe even
replace, the description.

Unfortunately, that also means that there is no way that a window
manager can _completely_ handle appicons/miniwindows, for example if the
shape of icons is different (eg. like the ones created by ol(v)wm)
