hehe, i've thought about this myself. i'm not sure if this is all
possible, but the only way i figured you could do it would be
to place an easily identifiable icon in the tray.. solid green
would do pretty well.

then you could get the HWND for the taskbar window and
start to look around for your green icon. (start at the bottom-right)

not the most elegent solution, but i figured it would work
