The estimate stuff lacks a lot of functionality.  It's not an area that
anyone seems to be working on, and it really needs someone to work on
it.

After a bit of discussion on this list, I coded that one out for version
2.  It's easy to reverse in the code.

Umm yeah... Pushing the 'button' gives this - it's a bug.  Choosing
'delete' from the menu on the left works O.K.  I fixed the problem in
CVS a few weeks back.  The affected files are /tasks.php and
/tasks/task_delete.php.  The changes are just a couple of lines.
