Do you refer to a task bar like the ones in Windows, KDE or Gnome? If yes, then this task bar exists and is activated by default in all squeak-dev beta images (ftp://ftp.ofset.org/squeak/squeak-dev/beta).
I tried the TaskBar in your image, this is a really cool extension for Squeak. What is missing is an X, to be able to close the window right from the task bar. Also some keybindings would be nice to switch to the next window.
Of course, the context menu for taskbar buttons is only available if the existing "generalizedYellowButtonMenu" preference is switched off (don't ask why!). As for window switching, alt-leftArrow/alt-rightArrow was the only combination I could find that wouldn't conflict with (mostly text) morphs and the host OS.

This is really cool. Thanks for the pointers.
Even if this is getting more and more off-topic, what would it take to get the focus detached from the mouse?

Which focus. There are some preferences for mouseClickForkeyboardFocus (should be on) and existing mouseOverForKeyboardFocus (should be off). With the latest Widgets the mouse wheel can be used independently of keyboard focus.
