I assume you mean this:

Yeah, I think this would be useful.  In the limited amount that I've
used this so far, having 10 identical icons that say "Terminal" isn't
all that useful.  Then again, a thumbnail of a terminal window isn't
going to be too helpful either.  I'm thinking a "tooltip" as a larger
thumbnail might be cool, but that's possibly getting a bit too far away
from "lightweight".

We'll see...
