I've been kicking around a thought along these lines, let me air it:
The closed task pane area becomes a 'notebook' widget. By default it is
not displayed, but the user can select from the View menu, preferences,
or plugins to display panes here. The panes are inserted into the
notebook window. If two or more panes are enabled (let's say the
"closed tasks" pane and the "task editor" pane), then tabs are shown
along the bottom of the screen for the user to look through. (If only
one pane is enabled, no tabs are shown and the tab area is hidden - so
it could look pretty much just like it does now.)
In addition to a closed tasks pane, and a task editor window, it could
include panes for metrics/graphs, export plugins could put their
exported text into a text view, and so on.
