Have you ever used multiple desktops or virtual screen (not the XFree thing,
but the wm one)? It solves a lot of problem about this, cos you organize
windows as you want.

Cos each is a window. ;]

First, people do not have to go to last used window, specially if you have
four browsers viewing different sites and you are reading one while other
loads, for example.

Second, popup is a solution, but I can tell you that I will get a really big
popup. And IIRC, the pager already has that (or the old one had).

I would preffer tooltips that show the full name of that windows that have
it too big (with a configurable delay).

And that the vertical tool bar is fixed so it works like the old one did
(multicolumn). [Yes, my config looks mad... but works... I should do some
screenshots]
