Yes:
WindowList (iconic)

I have simplified cursor generation today: now you can use xpm
images without a hotspot. This function should do what you want:
AddToFunc MyWindowList
+ I CursorStyle Menu empty.xpm
+ I WindowList (iconic) NoHotkeys
+ I CursorStyle Menu
where empty.xpm is any transparent xpm. This will work with
the latest CVS code only.

The next release will have the 'NoHotkeys' option.
