Not directly related to your question but...
As a user, the most annoying "feature" (to me) of any DE has been the grouping
of tasks in the taskbar. I consider it a "bug". It is even worse than not
having the "auto-hide panel".
Grouping makes tasks less accessible. I think that it is a way of telling the
user: "You are so dumb that you opened so many windows that you forgot to keep
track." Whenever I open a window I do want to keep its relative location fixed
in the taskbar and I want to be able to reach it via single click.
Please don't make this "bug" the default behavior.
Thank you so much,
Orcan
