The task bar on KDE is one of the reasons I switched to xfce (along with their dropping some things like being able to specify windows behaviour like no-decorations and sticky based on text in the title bar). I have ten virtual desktops, and typically fifty or so applications running at any given time so task bars get a bit cluttered and generally useless. I tend to keep track of specific applications by having them in set places on a particular desktop, using the ``window shade'' to minimize them into the title bar when not active. This makes it easy for me to find a given application since it's always in the same place, not jumping around on a task bar.
