Same here. But working on exactly one at a time.

The hook function works only on the one task I toggle.

If I stop working on an STARTED task that is not yet finished, I use
`C-c C-x C-o' to clock out.

Switching a task from TODO to STARTED means I'm starting to work on it,
and therefor I want to clock in.

Switching the task to `DONE' means I'm done with it, and therefor I want
to clock out.


I found this on the list or somewhere, and it's exactly useful if, you
need/want to clock each task you work on.
Well, clocking work time is my primary use case for Org-mode.

I never switched tasks using the modeline menu yet. Maybe an additional
function is needed to clock out the current task and clock in the next
one, I don't know.  I tend to go back to the entry and add some notes,
e.g. how a problem was solved, and clock out then.

Ahh, that's a great tip.
Looking at the bug report, I cannot believe I set that many values
myself.
But, yes, it seems I did :)
