Just to clarify:

  When you say "taskbar", are you referring to the Task Bar with its buttons
for each running application, the System Tray with its icans for services
and applications that are running in the background, or the Quick Launch
area with its icons for applications you don't have to navigate through the
start menu for?  (Or to something else I've overlooked?)
