I would like to say that the design suggested by Jamie looks well for
me.  Someone could say that one more click is needed to change the
current tracking task, but we already have a configurable keyboard
shortcut to view the 'hamster drop down window'  quickly and change
current task .  Another could say that the current task is not displayed
all time, but hamster already provides you a mechanism to notify you
every X minutes the task your are tracking. So, the integration into the
clock makes a lot of sense. And there is another reason for such
integration, hamster can automatically gather tasks from evolution,
which is also integrated in the clock (it show future events, and allows
to add new events).

Thinking on that, what if in the clock  instead of showing only future
events of evolution, it also shows the task list of evolution (sorted by
priority or by deadline...)  . Then, when you click one of such tasks,
it sets hamster to track it. I will be a very fast way of tracking time
while still know what to do. Personally, what I do very often is to open
the clock and see if I have events scheduled. If the task list is also
integrated, I will also see quickly my task list (TODO list).  The same
mechanism can also used with other task-list managers such as GTG
(Getting Things GNOME) .

Thanks,
Salut!
