The problem is that when you clock in on a task, it automagically
marks it with an o.  Clocking out, or switching tasks doesn't change
this o to anything else, it leaves it as o.  As a result, I have many
tasks which are now marked o and it's very difficult (read:
impossible) for me to see at a glance, which task I'm currently
clocked into.  I find myself looking at the last line of my timelog
file quite frequently!

I have several tasks marked as P which I use as a long-term 'waiting
for something' flag.
