Description Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2009-01-27 11:45:33 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Currently we can see taskbar entries for open programs with icon and text of program/window name.

KDE 4.2 provides window grouping mechanism which provides better window management by saving taskbar space. 

I was wondering if it'll provide better user experience if we keep just icons of windows instead of icon and text which will save more space of taskbar. This way taskbar may become like mac osx doc where only icons are shown. Windows 7 has also adopted the same mechanism. 

I'm not suggesting to copy someone but we can think about better user experience and can be open to good concepts. :-)
