+10 on getting rid of jargon shown to the user.

unfortunately we now have a small "problem": we inherited the term "task bar" 
from windows (i know, totaly *sigh* all around :/ ) and so for purely 
historical reasons the window picker widget is called "tasks widget"

we can do one of the following:

* rename the "tasks" widget to "windows" widget?

* rename your task managment widget to "activity management widget", but in 
that case we end up with a name collision with activities in plasma-desktop

* something completely different

personally, i am all for changing the name of the current tasks widget to 
"windows". "tasks" is really a bad name and one we have for purely historical 
reasons. no new user without a background in MS Windows would know what it 
means, though i'm guessing everyone can guess to look for "windows" when 
looking for that widget. moreover, that widget is there by default, so it's 
rare that people want to go searching for it in any case.

thoughts?

ok, naming issue out of the way ... 

now, what does this nepomuk plasmoid do, exactly? and what is the goal for it? 
we are currently working on this exact area in plasma right now, with Ivan 
working on libplasma<->nepomuk context bridging, kwin guys working on getting 
some of the window effects we need into good shape and marco and i puttering 
away on UI issues ... we should probably coordinate our efforts here so nobody 
ends up wasting time or designing in different directions :)
