Hmm, to be fair, you *can* drag the tasklist by middle-dragging anywhere
within the applet, not just on the pixel-thick line... but you're spot
on with the right-click issue.  Merging the menus would probably be the
nicest solution, but I've no idea if it's technically feasible.  Another
one for Alex to look at while he's doing the port :o)

Cheeri,
