openbox + tint2, prevent a program from displaying in tint2 taskbar

The title says it all.  Every time I start openbox, liferea runs (which is what I want) but it also shows up in the taskbar (which I dont want).  My beautiful, clean, empty default desktop is cluttered up by a taskbar item!  I want it gone.  Is there a way to do that either through tint2 or rc.xml?  I just want to blacklist the program altogether.  it has a tray icon that runs so I don't need the taskbar item.

Thanks

Openbox comes with application matching, though I'm not sure if it can make something skip the taskbar. Check out the application section in rc.xml (it should be completely commented out). If not, check out devil's pie.

Add app to rc.xml and use...

<skip_taskbar>true</skip_taskbar>
