Description Alexander “weej” Jones 2004-11-01 19:12:30 UTC 
Among a couple of ideas for the GNOME desktop, the one I think would be most
handy would be to be able to (for the sake of example) middle-click an item in
the window list and have it change to a single icon with no text and jump to the
far right hand side of the window list. I always have a terminal open and it
seems to be just wasting space on the taskbar. Rather than rely on each
application supporting the ability to dock to the notification area like
rhythmbox and Gaim (I'm not sure if that's really a good idea anyway... but
that's another discussion) I think it would be a good idea to integrate this
feature into the window list.

Current (# = program icon):

[ # xterm      ] [ # Epiphany   ] [ # Buddy List ]

Proposed (with a middle-click (or similar) of the xterm item):

[ # Epiphany   ] [ # Buddy List ]            [ # ]

Moving to the right component. Sorry for the spam.
