What is causing my missing taskbar (makes it necessary to ctrl-alt-del to close, can't tab back)

[Christopher Mitchell]

Ok, so it seems that palette windows do not create the taskbar item.  
Is there a way to force it to do so? I really want to have it just a 
menu... i guess I can do without it being in palette form.
Yours,
Chris
