According to
http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/latest/ar01s05.html#id2568975

The Client SHOULD specify window types in order of preference (the first
being most preferable)

So in that case, the preference is DIALOG, which means it shouldn't
appears on task list.

What I guess is that xfwm looks if _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL is present
to display it in Alt-tab, while tasks and windows list look if
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG to _not_ display it.

So tasks list does its job of hiding dialog windows, and that's the
application's job to tell if it wants that or not.

Cheers,
