I'm pretty sure you could find a matchbox widget somewhere that puts an active task list in the bar at the bottom. If not, clicking the tab at the top of the screen to pull up the task list isn't so terrible.
As long as there's quick access then no big problem. But a proper task bar makes multitasking so much more enjoyable. I do wonder how well the Pandora will handle multiple applications at the same time, especially if I run something like GIMP. I guess I have to wait and see.

New version of Gimp coming which keeps all its windows together. Should make it a lot easier for the Pandora :)

Phew. That's nice. I was worried that we'd have to do some crazy switching around of stuff to get the GIMP working.

Although I wonder about the whole "no windows, everything in the active tasks bar and one shown at a time thing". If you look at some of the older videos where ED is changing some settings in Matchbox, the settings window pops up as a WINDOW, and doesn't fully eclipse the desktop (like every other running program is forced to do).

EDIT: I quickly ran the Angstrom QEMU build that was released a while ago, and when that window popped up, I was able to move it around like a standard window in a "normal" WM. Interesting...

Congratulations to the developers and the fans on the Pandora reaching this milestone. I'm glad you are very excited. You should be.

New version of Gimp? With windows kept together? This is going to be great. I always wondered why they made such a weird interface choice.
 
I like keeping all the windows together. I find it quite annoying with apps that puts everything into windows when sane people put them into fixed positions along the screen edges anyway.
 
I'd like to have a reference for the one-window-gimp-version. Tried to google, but only found things like gimpshop and Xnest. Those 2 are really not what people are asking for so long ^^
