I mean expose like Compiz/MacOS expose, what Unity does already at the moment when you click on a running and focused application. That is a different thing to workspace switcher. > > If you mean the latter, please bear in mind that I'm not proposing a full > expose but merely a window preview, not unlike Compiz's alt+tab effect, > which is much less intrusive than expose. > Ah, now I think I understand what you mean.
