The xkb branch already just adds LaunchTaskBar as an alternative without
replacing anything.
The LaunchTaskBar allocates Launchbar and Taskbar plugin resources only if
needed,
if it is configured as just Launch allocates only Launchbar and so if
configured
only for Taskbar.
I also think that, if the replacement step is too risky, just adding it as
an alternative
that an user can find in plugins list is just good.
In xkb branch there are also improvements to Keyboard Layout Handler that
were
never ported to master.

that would be great after the job you made in pcmanfm, the daily crashes
there
are just a memory now.
