You're right about that. Maybe KDE 4 will do it with the KXDocker. I have it installed on Gentoo and kde 3.5.6 it works very well and the icons do give more functionality, plus there are a bunch of optional plugins.
When amarok plays it actually brings up the cover art for the artist. There's too much good to say about it. Aside from being a pain to get running, it's a sweet package.

Well, it needs to do *something* with all the space it "wastes".  I run
without a taskbar (instead I use the window list button on my main dock)
because I found it took up far too much screen space for what little
information and utility it gave.

It would be nice if the window list / Alt-tab could be forced (by holding a
modifier or somesuch) to show applications that only show in the system
tray.
