Changing tasks from the Menu Bar

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When starting the timer, the possibility of opening a drop down menu of the
current projects/tasks, allowing you to choose which task should be started.

A great touch would be, IMHO, to be able to ctrl+click the "play/pause"
button/icon that we have at the menu bar and from a little menu choose
a different task to switch. Then, with just this action, you have the
stop of one task and consequent resume of another one. And all that
without leaving the app you are presently using.

I like and use the play/pause button/icon in the menu bar very much,
but it would be great when I also could see the name of the project in
which I'm working in. It would be greater if a roll-down menu was
attached, so I can switch quickly between projects.

I'll add a +1 for this feature, having already clicked the menu bar to attempt 
the
same. Some variations:

* Use normal click for opening a menu, and command-click for quick access to 
starting
and stopping the timer.
* Avoid submenus: at least list the most recently time-tracked task (I'm not a 
huge
fan of the project/task differentiation, KISS and all that, but that's a 
separate issue)

Nice work, by the way! I've been looking for a flexible light-weight time 
tracker and
this may well end up fitting the bill.
