In my admittedly limited experience with expose, I find that it
simplifies finding a running application.

For instance, right now, the panel takes up almost 1280 pixels of
horizontal space, and I have the iconbox growing vertically.

The space that the iconbox or taskbar takes up is better used for
applications, thus the interest in expose.
