    [applets/taskmanager] Offer better options when activating grouped tasks · ebaddb7d
    Nate Graham authored
    Currently we get many complaints about the behavior of clicking on
    grouped tasks, especially for the Icons-Only Task Manager, where the
    Present Windows effect is always used when available.
    
    This commit overhauls what happens when you click on a grouped task to
    offer three options:
    1. Show tooltips (new default setting)
    2. Show Present Windows effect
    3. Show textual list (AKA group dialog)
    
    The user is now free to choose in the settings window which visualization
    best suits them.
    
    This commit does not implement the most heavily-requested option--to
    bring forward all of the windows belonging to a grouped task
    (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370258)--as it is still blocked by
    some technical isues related to stacking order and outstanding UX
    uncertainty regarding what should happen when one or more of the windows
    in a group happens to beminimized. However, since this commit introduces
    a config UI for choosing the desired behavior when activating a grouped
    task, there is now a place to put that option once it is implemented.
