"taskbar" I said only mean the bar showed when type ALT-TAB and not other mean. like http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=shortcuts-Alt-Tab-multiple-workspaces.png all I want to say is that: we should add some code so than we can use mouse to active(show) the taskbar I said above.....
