I have just tested the latest "KDE Neon Developer Edition Git-Unstable Branch"
image (http://files.kde.org/neon/images/neon-devedition-gitunstable/current/)
and
I'm happy to see that the new Task Manager backend fixes this issue.

The testing that I have done was limited, but everything seemed to work well.
Thanks to this change I may end up moving back to KDE in the near future. I
moved away before because I started to use more and more "web apps" that
running them as separate application icons on the "Icons-only Task Manager"
became really advantageous for my workflow. Unfortunately, KDE didn't cover
this usage scenario, up until now, so I had to move to GNOME Shell, which is
better on this particular matter, but lacking in other areas (which are not
that critical for me).

The only thing missing on the KDE ecosystem, that I can think of, is a seamless
way to connect to and mount network shares, SSH direcroties, etc. Just like it
happens on the GTK+ world thanks to GVFS. But... ohh well!! You can't get
everything you want at the same time ;)

Nice to hear that this issue will be looked upon in the future. Any idea of
when will this new Task Manager backend land? Do you expect it to be ready for
Plasma 5.7? Or will it only land later?
