Personally I would like to have a dock and of course I thought of a dock when 
starting to work on this part ;-) But first of all for me only icons would be 
enough for saving space ;-) I don't know how much work it would be to get a 
dock starting from the tasks widget. Most of the functionality of the tasks 
widget will be needed in a dock, too. Of course the quicklaunch functionality 
has to be added and saving the positions, etc.

I just wanted to keep the code consistent to the existing checks ;-)
