	My opinion (like it matters) is that the task bar should be strictly a
task bar.  I do have the desktop viewing thing in it but if it were to
be taken out it wouldn't be a problem.  One thing that GNOME and KDE
(and many other projects) have forgotten is the fundamental UNIX
philosophy, do one thing and do it really well.  A piece of the puzzle
should be one piece and not many.
