My panel height is 108px, for HDTV viewing, and I get about 6 tasks in view on a single line, a 7th window/dialog of any kind suddenly and brutally changes the taskbar view. Opening up Kate with a session of 20+ remote files is hideous, both for the dialogs covering the main screen and the transient number of items in the panel taskbar.

One solution for the taskbar is to have a sliding area with arrow handles on either side (like kickers left/right edge arrows) so only a subset of windows are viewable with the first opened windows taking precedence on the left and transient dialogs appearing to the right out of direct view "under" the rhs of the taskbar.

I guess for the open remote file dialogs, kate could have a optional viewable download pane like kmail and akregator.
