Yes.

Oops, yes. Having transient /panels/ would be a mess ;-). (I wasn't 
actually thinking about that, I meant it as just taskbar as you say, but 
I re-wrote it now. You might want to look if you think we should remove 
the green :-).)

I think saying 'FAI has a mini-task-bar' is about on the fence; after 
all we're talking about how to deal with minimized windows, which I 
think is fairly important even at an early stage. Otherwise yes, we 
should probably be careful, but I think we are doing okay for now. (We 
aren't putting stuff about what switchers or decorators should look 
like, for one.)
