It's actually just one big widget supplied by libwnck.  Tasklist does
virtually nothing beyond deciding the approximate size of the widget.

If it's any help, I'm using xfwm4 with "raise on focus" turned off and
that still raises windows when selected in the tasklist.  It does all
that I require of a window manager, but I don't know how it compares
with IceWM.

I don't *think* that there's anything Tasklist can do to help, but it's
possible that there's some setting in IceWM - but I've never used, so
I'm afraid I can't help you there.

TTFN,
