           Summary: (nearly) impossible to open the 'Task Manager Settings'
                    dialog when the task manager's list is full
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: widget-taskbar
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: mail eliasprobst eu


Version:           SVN r834059 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When the task manager is placed in the panel and is completely filled, there's nearly no way to open the 'Task Manager Settings' dialog. With some luck you find a 1px wide area at the very edge, where it reacts on the rightclick with the applet's context menu.

Possible solution:
- Add the 'Task Manager Settings' menu item to the context menus which appear when clicking on a task manager item. The item should be placed on top of this menu to keep the 'Close' entry accessible in the usual fast way.
