raising the window of a non-KDE app

How can I tell the taskbar to raise the main window of a particular non-KDE
app?

With KDE apps, I know I can use dcop to send a message directly to the app
to maximize it. But for non-dcop-aware apps, it seems that I should still
be able to ask the taskbar to raise (maximize) them. After all, it has a
list of these windows, and I can get it to maximize one by direct
manipulation of the taskbar on the screen. I've looked around in kdcop for
anything related to the taskbar, but I can't find it.

Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
Andrew.
