Docky as... Task list?

This is not exactly an answer, it's more likely a feature request - and I don't know whether I should file a bug or a blueprint since it's a feature request, so I felt like asking a question.

I had this somwhat crazy idea but I liked it so much and I don't think it's a terrible idea, after all. What about creating a gnome-applet for do to replace the task list? It would work like docky do now - but with the differences that the icons would appear at the left, replacing quick launch icons - e.g the "firefox, evolution and help" default in ubuntu - and the task management could be done either using icons like docky (something like xfce's iconbox) or using the task list method. When pressing the shortcut or summoning Do with a permanent icon - just like docky - 'current apps running' list would disappear and then docky's summon interface would appear there.

I know this doesn't seem much of a thing but before I used to use Deskbar-applet and Avant. I replaced these and the run dialog assigning alt+f2 to docky, and if it wasn't for this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/321865), I'd have replaced my task list as well.

I mean, with that "intelligent task list" I'd even replace the menu!! It's something I honestly have never seen before in any O.S. out there.

I mean, it's a gnome-applet and I'm not a dev so I have no idea about how difficult would it be to make it - if for this reason or for the obvious nonsense of it you want to say "this will never happen", feel free heahaehAEhaEeH. Just something I though was nice to share =)
