If I'm reading the docs right, this also means that, instead of
SetCurrentProcessExplicitUserModelID, we'll have to use the
IPropertyStore to set the AppUserModelID at the window level:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd378459(v=vs.85).aspx

"When an application sets an explicit AppUserModelID at the window
level, the application can provide the specifics of its relaunch
command for its taskbar button."

Doc for SHGetPropertyStoreForWindow says: "A window's properties must
be removed before the window is closed. If this is not done, the
resources used by those properties are not returned to the system. A
property is removed by setting it to the PROPVARIANT type VT_EMPTY."

So it seems like there will be initialization and cleanup for every
frame creation/destruction.
