Subtle moving
another quick micro thing that will be in Plasma for KDE 4.4: until now, the taskbar items appeared and disappeared "magically" and when a task disappeared between other two, every task immediately disappeared from where it was, appearing in the proper place. That is sooo computer behaviour, one of the little things that makes computer to look innatural and scary...

Easier Plasma themes creation
One pretty long task of plasma themes is to manually rename all the SVG sub elements with the proper names.
