Hmmm, thanks for the tip - this DOES make the problem easy to handle,
but I didnt know this, nor did the reviewer of COL2.2, nor did you, before
someone told you....

The most intuitive solution would be to give the taskbar the same arrow buttons
that the panel has (and make the use the same configuration as the panel ones)


IMHO if this could be implemented as a "bugfix" for KDE-1.1.2, it would be great!.
Since the tasbar and the panel have similar "autohide" features, maybe
some code from the panel could also simply be applied to the taskbar?
