Well there seems to be fix in SVN for this
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/commits/8981?do=post_view_threaded
so maybe the workaround isn't worth the time but if you really want to 
implement quick workaround for current beta it would be better to fix 
this properly i.e set the _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE window property to 
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL which is what the task navigator wants for 
the icon.

X example code to set (different) properties is here

You probably need reference to X display and window but maybe they are 
in some global variables, see the SDL_x11 driver
