True.
Another problem would be that another plugin could request to be the
default active page, too. Then it'd depend on the plugin load order.
Not really nice. Geany can't handle this directly as Geany doesn't know
which plugins will be loaded and what they request.
So, basically we would need some infrastructure in Geany to le plugins
register a default page request and then Geany could perform the
request. Though this is quite complex for just setting the default
page :D.

I could add a basic option to the plugin so that it will change the
notebook page to the Tasks page after startup. But it would be just a
better hack and can be easily broken by another plugin which tries the
same and is loaded later...
