taskmanager project

[Casper Clemence]

@z thanks

@marco:
>not sure i agree on opening the menu on just mouse over, would bring a ton of 
accidental opens and maybe a bit annoying 

Personally, I like this behaviour (eg in Lancelot) but perhaps it is not for 
everyone. Note that at the moment a tooltip pops up anyway.

>open a Plasma::dialog

I'll go that way, you may have saved me some time, that wasn't what I was 
doing.

@aaron
>you mean like the tooltip that shows up over non-grouped items?

Not really - this is like an auxiliary task-manager for the group... perhaps a 
mock-up...

There you go. The main thing is it behaves just like the task-bar.

Yes mostly useful for manual grouping. If the group pops-out on hover, the 
left-button is free to do something else and this seems like the logical 
action.

>as Marco noted, having this look like the left click menu would be nice.

The intention is to have *no* left-click menu. (the group task-manager popup 
thing replaces that). Personally I prefer the KDE menu to the plasma menu.

Thanks all, Casper
