we already did it for the system tray which looks very nice and sexy in that 
"minimal usage of lines, whitespace where needed" way.

the tasks widget is a bit more tricky. think of multiple rows of tasks, for 
instance.

we can improve what we have, but it's not quite as easy as the designer who 
wrote that blog made it out to be. that's perhaps one of the reasons designers 
don't get listened to as often as they should. :)
