Air theme active task SVG improvement

Hi Developers,

I noticed that the Air theme's graphic for the active task (on the task 
manager) was a pixmap, whereas the other button states were true SVG 
vector shapes.  As a result, the active task (appears as depressed 
button) didn't perfectly match the other button states, and there were 
alignment issues, such as the infamous 1px gap at the right edge of the 
active task button.

So, I recreated the active task button using vector shapes instead, and 
have attached the file here (./widgets/tasks.svgz).  This is based on 
the air theme version included with KDE 4.8.0.  FYI, after replacing the 
tasks.svgz file, you might not able to see the change in the air theme 
until after deleting the plasma theme cache file in 
~/.kde/cache-/hostname//.

I've also included this fix in the Frosty Air Theme on kde-look.org 
<http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=148767> if you want to 
give it a test.  You may also want to consider the changes made to the 
Frosty Air theme for inclusion in the default air theme, since they 
improve text readability when the desktop effect "blur" is active (see 
KDE bug #278861 <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278861>).
