This problem can be solved with by adding 1 line of code to window-list.c within the gnome-panel source.
First ensure you have the latest versions of gnome-panel and libwnck22.
dpkg -l gnome-panel libwnck22
ii gnome-panel 1:2.30.2-1ubuntu3 launcher and docking facility for GNOME
ii libwnck22 1:2.30.5-0ubuntu1 Window Navigator Construction Kit - runtime files
Edit applets/wncklet/window-list.c in your favourite editor and add this line of code to the beginning of function tasklist_update, just before the if statement.
Build the package with dpkg-buildpackage, and install the .deb file for gnome-panel.
Alternatively, use the attached patch file instead of manually editing the source code.
Restart the task list applet using;
killall wnck-applet
