What you're saying is to show in the applet menu exactly the same list
of tasks that is visible in the taskbrowser
(if a user selects a tag/goes in the workview mode, both the Browser
and the applet show the new set of tasks).

It might be a little bit confusing, but it would be quite handy too.
It would even be quite trivial to implement.
 The too-many-tasks problem is not completely solved with this
approach though, and I don't see an easy solution to that.

My long term goal, when we implement searches and saved searches (or
"views", in SQL terms), was to show one of those in the applet.

GTG's panel applet list is bad at managing large numbers of tasks

Status in “gtg” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gtg

CONTEXT

GTG has no apparent upper limit on the number of tasks you can log in it. It can function as an "everything basket" like Tomboy Notes, except only for things that you're planning on doing instead of remembering. In this sense, GTG is almost a bug-tracker for one's life.

PROBLEM

GTG's panel applet's task list (when it's working; see bug 548836 ) shows all of your tasks, including the ones that are filed for long-term. This makes it very un-useful if you have more than a few tasks logged in GTG.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

The task list will be more relevant to people with large numbers of tasks listed. See bug 591920 for one suggestion. Others might include letting you somehow filter by tag in the panel applet, or letting you use the main window to mark certain tasks for today's work.
