This is nice and seems to work smoothly.

slick.
All in all, some good improvements.
Comments:
- When stopping and deleting a running task, the status changes to '???',
but the task is not removed from the task manager.
- The 'offline' button doesn't kick in until the currently running task(s)
complete(s). It's not a huge problem though unless you want to pause loading
a large number of headers, in which case you need to 'stop' the task as well.
- I don't know if it's on your todo list, but the column headers scroll off
the top when paging through the task list. Also, you cannot click-n-drag to
select tasks. These are both inconsistent with the rest of PAN.
