No—I know this isn't a democracy. I wasn't expecting an actual vote that
would count for anything; I was just succinctly expressing my support
for this idea.

Mockups, eh? Well, here are a few to look at.
Firstly, I have indeed been very very slowly poking at the application
switcher thought as a panel applet. Not really anywhere far yet, but this
discussion got me opening up the project again. I guess that's a step in the
right direction...
I am toying
That much (about desktop-neutrality) is definitely true, Jan. That's why the
idea of building an application lister applet is a slow one, at best...
A GNOME-centric proof of concept wouldn't hurt, but it would definitely be
sensible to have a solid addition to the FreeDesktop standards somewhere.

It seems that it can't, since developers keep using the notification are
for this purpose.

If you want to make a difference, get involved in the specifications
that matter. Most importantly -- _FILE BUGS_ aga
The problem with "the Windows way" is that there is a complete lack of
consistency in that environment. Learning a new application is a complex
task since they all behave differently. As an example, there is the question
of whether it places itself in the notification area! Really, "programs"
