Zooming dock

[Mark <jamess1 wwnet com>]

Hello,
  I was wondering what peoples opinion of a zooming dock is. I haven't
used MacOS X, but I would imagine it work similarly to what the video
shows on their site. Icons would represent thumbnails of the application
specific content, they would be zoomed when the mouse is over them
revealing more detail. Clicking an icon would remove the icon from the
dock and bring up the document. Also icons on the destop could be moved
to the dock and vice versa. I think this has been discussed a breifly in
the thread "Running vs starting apps". I mainly would like to know if
this would be a good direction for Gnome and if people would like this.
I might want to do some experimentation with this if it sounds like a
good idea.
