*** Which you can not either because the taskbar tends to shorten the open 
progs indication as far as cutting the names and making them unreadable. 
And after working with several open windows you can not know which xterm 
you started when and which one is showing the info you want.

What everybody seems to forget, probably too much used to KDE (and Windows 
maybe) is that Linux (and XFCE) let you configure several tty's which you 
can acces through the XFCE bar. You can have almost as many as you want and 
organize your desktop to the way you work.

Example: Main, Mail, Internet, Admin, Logs, System...

That are the tty's I have set up and thusly the taskbar is not of life 
importance. Further more Llama's right-click menu trick works very well 
with such a setup.

Let us drain and adjust the features available before spending time and 
energy inventing something which is of a questionable use.

Zoran.
