that means it's on a containment that isn't associated with a screen. -1 == no 
screen (or in contexts where a screen is *required*, such as the window 
manager, it means "all screens").

look in your plasma-appletsrc, find this taskbar of yours (plugin=tasks), see 
wht containment # it is in (you can tell by looking at the group name =) and 
find the screen= value for that containment.
