yes, i was going to add those as well but ran out of time ... attached is
another revision, based on your revision =)
there is a "Configure Task Groups" item, which i envision bringin up a dialog
that would allow the user to add / remove / edit task groups (submenus) ..
i'd also like to see these submenus appear as .desktop files somewhere in the
kicker hierarchy so that various collections of them can be provided (e.g.
Development, Visual Arts, System Administration, Gaming.....) and they can
easily be shown/hidden.. much like the special menus are shown/hidden.

ok.. i've moved the Recently Used Applications menu to the Tasks area near the
More Applications entry ...

and that won't be a unique situation either.. i'm thinking the solution might
be "bite the bullet" and keep the task groups small by default ...

if there is indeed interest in pursuing this as a kmenu option, i'll merge it
into kicker as a kmenuext (since that's the easiest to package up) so we can
play with it with icons and as a part of the panel and commit it kdenonbeta
so others can access it and hack on it with ease.
/me looks over at kspread, knowing what this means =(
