TaskArea shouldn't really be involved at all. Best would be for Applet
to have a layout that includes the up/down button and a TaskArea.
You'd then be able to control how things are laid out when on the
desktop, too. I gave up on getting layouts to work though; I had to
jump through hoops to get Applet's layout to update its cache of
TaskArea's size hints and it didn't always work.

If you want to commit as-is to get it in before the freeze, I don't
have issue though. That'd at least get any necessary strings in.
