IIRC, I read several months ago that the Task Bar was back, or more
likely, available as an add-on.

BTW, I like to keep the full vertical space of my monitor available to
XEmacs to maximize lines of text, and find fvwm2's FvwmWinList is a good
kind of task bark over on the right edge below a three-pane FvwmButtons
(with clock,date,xload,xosview(with 4 subpanes without labels, etc)).
I've a small monitor so squeeze it all (and 4-page screen pager) into
right one-inch.
