I think the xfdesktop list of windows would be useful for this:
it's already there (so less bloat and code) and it's keyboard navigable as
well.

The only code missing is IMHO for calling it up on Alt-Tab without that
middle-mouseclick (and maybe Alt-Tab, Alt-Shift-Tab in addition to Cursor key
navigation).

As a side benefit, Windows on all virtual workspaces become accessible by this.

Just my Eur0,02.

I feel the same - right now, XFCE has almost all the important features for me
without the bloat of the big guys KDE/Gnome, and OTOH lots of the polished 
functioning and appearance that KDE/Gnome have.
