It seems to work just fine. It's pretty cool with the highlighting and
all. I don't know your plans with this, but there are a few thing that
are needed to make this really useful:
* abbreviation of the titles to the size of the icons with expansion on
  highlighting like xfwm does now.
* use aplication icons (+ allow to override)
* keep icons on one desktop (now they are present on all virtual
desktops)

Thanks for the great work,
Jasper
