Showing icons in the taskbar

I don't see much traffic on this list; is that because there's no
one who wants to talk about Zaurus development, or just that everyone's
waiting for someone else to start a thread?

So I'll try. I have something that's been driving me crazy in a couple
of little Zaurus apps I have: when I run my apps (which have icons that
show up in the qpe Applications or Jeode tab), no icon for the app
shows up in the taskbar.  So if I context-switch to some other app,
there's no way to tell Qtopia go back to my app.

No other program I run has this problem, and poking through source,
none of them look like they're doing anything special to get a taskbar
icon (for instance, they don't seem to install one big icon and one small
icon; it looks like qpe is just taking the normal icon and scaling it
down, but it doesn't do that for my apps).

Should I be symlinking my icons to somewhere else besides
/opt/Qtopia/pics?  Making a small icon and putting it somewhere?
Doing something special when I create my icon?  I'm making my pngs
with gimp: tried both indexed and non, tried 28x28 and larger sizes
(what is the right size?  I haven't found any documentation at all on
what qpe expects for its icons, but it seems to be pretty flexible
except for this taskbar problem).  I see this problem both on qt
and java apps.

Is there any documentation I've missed that describes things like this?

BTW, my Z apps are at http://www.shallowsky.com/software/zaurus.html
in case anyone wants to look and see what I'm doing wrong.
