Re: All GNOME Shell Developers.

I do have a few other examples where the current GNOME-Shell would fail;

FIrefox and it's separate download window.

GIMP and it's multiple windows.

MPlayer

A Dock is impractical here, as all of them are currently incapable of 
showing me what's in the window. Unless we either have the classic way 
of managing windows, someone gets them to be all grouped toghter, or 
distributions start replacing GIMP with GIMPShop and Firefox with an 
embedded download window...
There needs to be some level of window management in an activites 
window, and not just in the overlay.
