--- Comment #15 from Paul <pip.kde at gmx.com> ---
I appreciate that bug trackers are not for general discussion, but would like
to add the following.

I may be mistaken, but I believe on 6.1 (pre kde5 VCL) the kde workaround
mentioned in comment #4 offered a "fix".  Certainly for a while this issue was
"solved", perhaps it was the introduction of the kde5 VCL that broke kde's
workaround?

I don't see this as being a straightforward issue to resolve, not only are two
sets of developers (kde & LO) involved, but the end users may have differing
ideas on the behaviour expected.

Personally, I'd like the ability to have individual, per document type,
launchers on the Task Manager, for example Writer and Calc, and for grouping to
be done by document type. Which if I've understood comment #11 is the behaviour
when using Gnome.  Other users may of course have differing expectations.

KDE and LibreOffice always was problematic with regard to the Task Manager. Pre
plasma 5, the Icon Only Task Manager of (KDE) 4.x had the ability to define
Launcher Matching Rules, which overcame the problem.  I did enquire about it
last year ( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398013#c6 ) but the response
was not particularly favourable.

I will follow this report with interest, but will make no further comment.  My
thanks to all developers involved.
