SUMMARY
When you change to a different task manager widget (e.g., from Task Manager to Icons-only Task Manager, or visa-versa), any apps not pinned by default to the task manager are unpinned.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start an app not already pinned to the task manager;
2. Right-click on the app in the task manager and Pin to Task Manager;
3. Right-click on panel so that top-most menu entry reads "Configure Task Manager," and select "Show Alternatives";
4. Switch from Task Manager to Icons-only Task Manager, or visa-versa.

OBSERVED RESULT
Any app not pinned by default is unpinned from the task manager. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Apps pinned to task manager remain persistently pinned.
