so .. report #1 :)

see screenshot here:

a few issues can be spotted. first, the text is cut off at the bottom. my panel 
is 27 pixels high[1] so one hopes there is enough room. what i think is 
happening is that the inner borders of the task item SVG elements are now 
being respected and it's squeezing the items in.

this also effects the icons which are now pretty tiny :)

in the tooltip, it becomes even more apparent to me that for the task bar if 
window thumbnails are shown we probably do not want the application icon 
there. as you can see, we end up with it multiple times and then with the 
windows also shown it is a bit of a clutter-up. centered text under thumbnails 
should be perfect. i've implemented this in libplasma as 
0c73b80e4bcc4634cb6e725236ccd9de28e463b3 .. feedback welcome :)

also, it is saying "Also available on" but then nothing.

for tasks that are on all activities, i'm not sure if we need to state that. 
doubly so if the # of activities is 1, though i suppose that case gets covered 
naturally.

probably only if they are not on all activities it could note that. (i've fixed 
that with 3af5b71b0f7d165a3fb065fafa8385d884ec913a)

the desktop location is also a bit confusing in the tooltips. it says things 
like "On Chat" (one of my desktops is called Chat; it's where konversation 
goes, you see :) and then "Also on all activities". so it is using the word 
"on" to refer to two separate things and it's less than clear as a result.

visibility of both lines should probably depend on there being more than 1 
desktop and more than 1 activity ..

the highlight of items in the popup "jumps" from item to item when hover over 
them. the background should instead "glide" from item to item as seen in other 
plasmoiods.

right clicking on an item after showing its context menu results in it being 
selected. windows should only activate on left click.

overall it looks really great .. we'll polisht his puppy to a high shine for 
4.11!
