Improvements to notification area plugin

[mati]

1. In the context menu, it should be possible to quickly mark a task as done without opening main window. The layout could be as this:

Main window
-- (separator)
Create new task
--
v Task 1
v Task 2
...
v Task 10

I imagine all users put gtg in autostart and it is kept running all the time (that is notification icon for :) ), so probably "Quit" item could be removed. The same for "About" command, which is probably not clicked much (but could be important to developers' pride :) )

The menu which is shown by gnote/tomboy (I prefer gnote, which starts faster) icon (with left button click) is great and could be used as kind of reference.

That way the GUI would be less cluttered and user could quickly mark task as done and go to the next one, maintaining her workflow.

2. When main window isn't shown, user doesn't see a count of active task. There could be possibility do display that number as a icon. I imagine having images (png? svg?) with numbers from 1 to 30 that could be used for it. That way user should be more focused on the tasks left :)

This is exactly what we would like to have as an applet.

Ok, so what I need is an applet. Thanks for the link, I agree :)
