I still think that hiding the popup automatically is more convenient 
than rejecting showing tooltip and context menu.

Since AbstractTaskItem has a m_applet pointer, I add a function to hide 
the popup dialog in class Tasks. Every time a WindowTaskItem or a 
TaskGroupItem wants to show a tooltip or a context menu, it first calls 
that function to hide the popup dialog which is showing.
