thya'd be possible, but i don't see it happening any time for e17 - we'd need a
way for logic to parse.match/etc. titlebars and generate some overlay. ibar is
ONLY a launcher - not a task manager (right now) so the icon in bar is not
attached to an existing process. so it doesnt make sense ui-wise. u'd mayeb
want this in ibox though :)
