I like the concept very much, but I think it's a poor implementation. 
Have a little bar like that a) takes too much space, b) looks very 
cluttered, and c) it's hard to click on those little icons.

I much prefer adding a folder view onto the taskbar (with the folder 
consisting of nothing but links to .desktop files) as the icons all hide 
away nicely when you're not using them:

Course, this used to work much better under KDE3:

I've got a bug filed to try to make KDE4 work the same way.
