Trying to guess what you refer to there still seems to be 
misunderstanding. The issue was to have a dedicated text label 
associated to the taskbar icon which is different from the window frame 
title of the same window. There are two distinct xterm sequence to set 
these within an X server but this is not supported by Windows.
