After two days of learning how to work with svn i finally managed to create a branch =)
The code lives now in branches/work/plasma-groupingtaskbar/

Just check if the TaskItem seems to be a reasonable way to get around the guarded TaskPtr / AbstractItem problem.
If so i would probably only use the TaskItem instead of the TaskPtr throughout the taskbar vistualization (applets/tasks/*).

Well, at least not for the menu used in this taskbar because the menu disapears as
soon as an action is clicked.
 
 I'm on vacation for the next two weeks, so take your time =)
