I suggest the following solution: place the window titles above or below
the window thumbnails.

I think this is a good solution because of the following reasons:
* Use window title instead of only the application name: Because in most cases 
where the thumbnails of the windows look indistinguishable, the windows are of 
the same application and therefore only using the application name is useless. 
Many applications like PDF readers, web browsers, photo viewers, etc. use the 
file name in the window title and with that helps the user choosing the window.
* Show the title of every window and not only the selected one (or the one that 
is under the mouse pointer): The user wants to have an overview so that he/she 
can quickly select the desired window. The user has to "search" for the desired 
window if we only show the title of one window.
* Put the title below/above the thumbnail: For a visually better overview.
