Hello Sonal,
First of all, thank you. This is an awesome feature, I guess lots of 
folks are waiting for this.
I've just tried and it seems to be working great, even clicking on item 
is now possible.
But unfortunatelly I'm experiencing crashes, here are two stderr:

(xfwm4:8264): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_int: assertion 
'default_value >= minimum && default_value <= maximum' failed

(xfwm4:8264): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 
IA__gtk_widget_class_install_style_property: assertion 'G_IS_PARAM_SPEC 
(pspec)' failed

---

(xfwm4:1845): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_int: assertion 
'default_value >= minimum && default_value <= maximum' failed

(xfwm4:1845): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 
IA__gtk_widget_class_install_style_property: assertion 'G_IS_PARAM_SPEC 
(pspec)' failed

Other than that, what I miss are the applications icons. Do you plan to 
add them next to the windows previews?

Cheers,
André Miranda
