Under Gnome with multiple desktops, the taskbar icons for open terminals
show up only when I select the desktop containing the terminals.

For example, desktop 4 has six open gterms, desktop 2 has none.  If I
select desktop 4, the bottom bar shows six gterm icons (plus an icon
for each app running on that desktop such as gkrellm).  If I select 
desktop 2, I see no gterm icons but icons for Firefox and Thunderbird
(the apps running on that desktop).
