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
