Yes, something like this, just an idea...

That is nearly perfect -- if it would also work from the trayicon when
choosing "start stopwatch".  My proposition: when choosing "Start
Stopwatch" from the context menu and then doing a richt-click on a task
(or a click with a modifier key), then the "New effort..."-window shows up.

Michael.
