I second that notion. ob 3.4 improves on the old window-switching
dialog by providing a (windows-like) list of app icons, but the window
titles in client-list-combined-menu make things far easier.

Tore, if you have an rc.xml that achieves this to satisfaction, could
you please post it?

Dana, what are the chances of replacing the NextWindow window-switch
dialog as outlined above? Would also be cool to be able to quit
windows from inside the window selection dialog.

Furthermore, in a xinerama setting the task-switching dialog always
appears on monitor 1... but it could appear on the monitor that
currently has focus (being the monitor most likely to grace your eyes
at that point)... or even all monitors?

Cheers,
