  I would rather not have all the "icon only tasks" as starters ("always show entry"), if they are not running. To me a "icon only task" is something I would like to apply on tasks, that only have (normally) one instance running, so there is no problem with confusing them. They don't have to be the most important apps to me at all. Depending on your workflow these might include chat apps, ide's,  multimedia editors like krita, kdenlive, kontact ... .
  
  eg I only start Krita every couple of weeks, but I never start it twice so I would not need a task bar entry with text. But I don't need a starter for it either, since I don't start it very often. To me starters are something unrelated. (And they are pretty broken, in my option, when used with multiple workspaces and you only show entries from the current workspace in the taskbar, but that's probably besides point here)
