Either by patching the tasklist plugin, or by writing a new plugin that
"decorates" that tasklist dialog.

Have a look at the "print to browser" plugin for the second option, this is
where the "print" button is added to the tasklist dialog.

If you need help with basic Gtk stuff like defining a button and connecting
signals, I suggest going over the Gtk tutorial here:

If I understand correctly you are using prio up to 26 - do you mean to say
you have tasks with 26 exclamation marks in them !?
