            Bug ID: 16727
           Summary: [feature request] treestyle Window Buttons
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfce4-panel
           Version: 4.15.2
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium

There is this addon(aka extension) for Firefox called "Tree Style Tab" (Show
tabs like a tree.) by YUKI "Piro" Hiroshi, which is just perfect for Firefox.

Now, I've noticed that while I'm trying to do some goal, along the way
something else pops up which needs to be resolved first before I can continue
to toward goal, so I'd like to branch off from the current point, in the pursue
of resolving it and once I'm done, I'd be right back to where I was. Also, this
can happen to an arbitrary depth, not just 1 deep. Window Buttons in treestyle
would make it easier to see which buttons are part of the branching, when
wanting select any to focus.

Treestyle Window Buttons would help with this, if it were implemented(if it
even can be possible, unsure), it would work similarly to "Tree Style Tab"
extension. 
Well, maybe there needs to be a way for it to know when to create a child tab,
for example if current focused app is xfce4-terminal and I want to start
another via a shortcut like ctrl+alt+d, how would Window Buttons know it should
be a child or a sibbling, in the list of Window Buttons ? Not sure yet.

Also, this implies that the Window Buttons plugin(?) or Item(what's it
called?), would be added to a panel that's in Deskbar mode(ie. tabs would be
vertically stacked), or else it wouldn't work if horizontal.
