Summary:
Taskbar title turns empty / only shows "2", when you open a plugin's configuration dialog box when taskbar grouping is enabled.

Area:
Configuration tool

Description:
When "Group similar taskbar buttons" is enabled in Windows XP, and you open a plugin's configuration window causing grouping to occur, the title will be replaced with the text "2".

To fix this, you need to set the AssemblyDescription attribute in configuration's main program. This value is copied to the assembly's version description which explorer uses when choosing a title to show for grouped windows. You might also have to update or remove Configuration.exe's entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache if there is an entry for it there already.

As a workaround, add an entry for configuration.exe in the registry key above with the title you want.

I'm just about to pull down the source code, but the fix is very easy so didn't bother submitting a patch :)
