I second this request, though I see nobody seems to be
interested in implementing it.

Here's why I think this is useful:

I frequently have so many windows open that it is impossible
to see any info about the window on a horizontal taskbar.

With a vertical taskbar (e.g. at left or right of screen),
all items would be the same height (the height of text
and/or icon), and therefore many items could be
accommodated.  This type of taskbar is one of the good ui
features of win nt.

In addition, it would be useful to be able to change the
width of a vertical taskbar to an arbitrary size by dragging
the edge.  That, however, might be more of an implementation
project.
