tasks widget testing before i backport

hi ...

i committed two sets of changes yesterday to libtaskamanger and the tasks 
widget:

* a change to libtaskmanager that re-groups windows that were previously 
ungrouped because they were marked with 'demands attention'. this is obviously 
a bugfix, but the change to accomplish it, while not tricky, was a bit bigger 
than i expected at first.

* a change to the tasks widget that marks the window list popups with 
Qt::Popup. there was a comment in the code that maybe one day we could use 
Qt::Popup for them, but that for now (when the comment was written) handling 
it ourselves was working better for "focus purposes". in testing with 
Qt::Popup, i found no focus issues (even keyboard focus with tab, shift tab, 
etc. works nicely) so i change it to use Qt::Popup since that makes clicking 
outside the popup _always_ close it

both of these things were bugging me for quite a while, so i'm happy to have 
them fixed. however, they are both more-than-small changes and this is a 
rather important widget in terms of people relying on it working well ;)

so i'd appreciate it if as many of you as possible can update 
kdebase/workspace/libs/taskmanager and 
kdebase/workspace/plasma/desktop/applets/tasks and pay attention to how things 
are working. if i don't hear of any regressions in the next couple of days, 
i'll backport.

both sets of changes are working rather nicely here, but one person really 
isn't enough for this .. :)
