It sounds like the task manager is gone. This is an applet that runs on the 
task bar itself which lists open windows.  If this is KDE 4 you will need to 
add the Task Manager applet to the panel. If this is KDE 3 you will need to do 
somethign similar, though I've been using KDE 4 for so long now I forget the 
steps to add it back in KDE 3. Right click the panel and select add 
"something" and you should get a list of things. Find task manager or task 
panel.  Sorry for the lack of information, but I hope this helps.
