Description Michail Vourlakos 2016-09-07 11:16:05 UTC 
It would be very useful if there was a way to not remove launchers from the tasks model in order to add the windows items. But instead, the launchers properties are updated in order to correspond to a Window. 

This is very useful to not have all these adds and removals from the tasks model.

Use Case: the docks that do not want the launcher to be removed when a new window instance is opened

Reproducible: Always

work around this, but delaying removal of tasks in the ListView in order to play the animation and the user not noticing the additions/removals
