Although I never mentioned it, I've always wanted an option in xfwm so
that it *won't* abbreviate titles. No abbreviation is a great help when
you have multiple gvim's open and you have a hard time remembering which

If they could be mapped (optionally) to the bottom of the screen it
would also be a great addition.
