After looking at it more, I agree it might not be simple.  However, I do
think a GUI-only version is a better default.  If you agree, what needs to
be done to make it happen?  And is this the right place to discuss?  Thanks.

bug#1849: emacs on Windows 7

[Ben Straub]

It seems Microsoft has anticipated this.

The fix is for all executables that want to stack their icons to set
an Application Identifier, as documented at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378459.aspx. Just have
emacsclientw.exe and emacs.exe call
SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID with the same string (I
suggest "GNU.Emacs") during their startup.

 I've submitted a patch to emacs-devel
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-05/msg00461.html),
though I wasn't aware this bug existed then.

Thanks, we'll probably install it as soon as the 23.1 branch is cut.
