Exactly.  And it is actually quite easy.  Grab your taskbar icons and 
move them.  For a given workflow or project, start with your web pages, 
then other apps, and finish with terminals.  Easy to see, and fine, and 
no work to do.  At a glance, these 3-5 task bar icons are the Domain 
Name project, and these 6 are the bufferbloat problem, and so on.




And as to the person who was saying that omgubuntu is technical, I think 
we have a different deffinition.  Here

is an example of a technicle article that occupied several icons for 
quite a while before I figured out how to patch the BIOS in my APs to 
solve it.  Fixed a lot of majore problems Mac wireless users were 
having.  All I had to do was use ifconfig in a startup script to reset 
the txqueue length to 10.  The hard part was figuring out how to mount 
the image...
