Just install them (emerge/apt-get/…) and then download the correct Windows drivers (for me the 32bit version, here a link: HERCULES.tar)

(Pre-requisite you’ll never use your Konqueror to access Gmail as this configuration force your Gmail to HTTP version)

1. First go to Konqueror Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Browser Identification
2. Add a new Site Specification for the link mail.google.com, as Agent you should choose Wget (no matter the version)
3. Add a Browser widget on your desktop and visit this website here: https://mail.google.com/tasks/

DONE!

;) Easy…

EDIT:

A new direct way to do it is visiting directly the following link:

https://mail.google.com/tasks/ig?pli=1

Pro: It does not destroy the configuration of Konqueror for Gmail. But the first method is still more functional and practical.

As you can see the bottom right part is almost never used. Big circles represents pauses of the mouse (are the time while I use my shell or I write or I read something). The bottom part is my task manager (even if I use a lot the Alt-Tab) plus the top-left part is dedicated to my menu.
