This should work with the default skin. If you're using your own skin, you
have to apply some changes to your templates. Search the default skin
templates for <roundcube:container ... />.
For example in includes/taskbar.html you have to add
<roundcube:container name="taskbar" id="taskbar" />
within the <div id="taskbar"> block.
This tag gives a hint to the application where the taskbar is and it acts
as a placeholder for server-side button inclusion.

Currently it's not possible to define a new "task" per se. You can only
define new "actions" within one if the existing tasks
(mail|addressbook|settings). Read
http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Doc_Plugins#Customactions for more details.
