I am against using IconTasks as the default [1] for the following reasons: * we are after feature freeze * it lives in plasma-addons and not in kde-workspace * the UI is way too complex * the issues you mentioned are not related to TaskManager but to libtaskmanager which is shared by both applets. All those issues are probably also visible with icon tasks but just better hidden.
The first two items are clear showstoppers for 4.9 IMHO and the third one is a clear showstopper in general given the way how we considered the task applet up to now: few options, not complex and who wants more should be able to get a complex version. Cheers Martin [1] Note: I use it myself and are very happy with it
