Heya Jonathan,

Use Synaptic and search for plasma-applet-icontask.

We really discourage especially new users from installing stuff outside our repository for obvious reasons. But Linux is about choice and breaking the balls and chains that limit our freedom to choose ...

so right click anywhere on the desktop and make sure you do not have Unlock Widgets. If you have already done that right-click again and select Add Widgets. The Widget showcase display should appear. Click Get new Widgets > Download New Plasma Widgets. On the Search box type your search keyword, and when you find what you are looking for, just click Install. Easy.

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=144808&forumpage=38 is in repository.
You need to install kde-plasma-addons if it's not installed

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Minimized+Notifications?content=111192 is a mock up (never developed)
